Welcome!Bruchim Habaim – Welcome to Beth Jacob Congregation! We are a Conservative synagogue of more than 400 families located near St. Paul, Minnesota. We are guided by the principles of Torah (study), Avodah (meaningful worship and work), and Gemilut Chasidim (acts of loving kindness). We exist as a congregation in order to practice and further our understanding of Conservative Judaism through the celebration of Shabbat, holidays and lifecycle events, and daily practice. We are the closest synagogue to the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, located just minutes from the JCC and the Talmud Torah. Officially founded in 1985, Beth Jacob Congregation’s legacy in the Twin Cities reaches back more than 120 years. We are committed to multigenerational Jewish learning and building a compassionate community. Beth Jacob is a diverse, egalitarian congregation where women and men participate equally in synagogue life. All are welcome and valued, regardless of social standing or economic position. We believe that everyone’s talents and energy are necessary to sustain our communal life. Out-of-town visitors: Welcome! We look forward to worshiping with you, and sharing Shabbat and holidays.
