Congregation Beth Israel

Congregation Beth Israel (Hebrew: בית ישראל, lit. 'House of Israel', officially Beth Israel Anshe Litte – "House of Israel, people of Lithuania"), is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 10 Dexter Street in Malden, Massachusetts, in the United States. It was founded in 1904 by Jewish immigrants f

rom Lithuania. Facing demographic decline in the early 2000s, the congregation undertook a number of efforts to attract Orthodox Jews to Malden and its synagogue. In 2012 Beth Israel had roughly 100 member families and held services three times daily. Beth Israel's first (and longest-serving) rabbi was Dov Ber Boruchoff, who served the congregation from 1906 to 1939. Yitzchak Zev Rabinowitz joined as rabbi in 1997.
