A survival story

As we enterned the 21st Centruy Beth Jacob was in the process of being closed and sold when several families came forward and said no, we will keep our Shul open. Galveston and Beth Jacob were inundated by Huricane Ike and with no flood insurance. The repair of the damage took several years to complete.
Today Beth Jacob is blessed to have a fulltime Rabbi. The Shul has once again become a gathering place for those looking for traditional conservative worship, Torah study and fellowship.
Over the past several years the Congregation has developed a long-range plan that includes offering the Shul as a destination for Jewish family events. By doing so we will maintain our tradition of reading and studying Torah.
Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s at CBJ Galveston are focused on the significance of the the second milestone in our lives.
The bat or bar mitzvah: leading the service, reading the Torah, chanting the Haftorah and giving a Drash provide the basis upon how a Jewish life is lead. Understanding the significance of taking responsibility for one’s actions.
We stress the meaning.
