Congregation Beth Israel (Hebrew: בית ישראל) is a Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 411 South Eighth Street, in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, in the United States.[1] Founded in 1907[5] to provide services for the High Holidays,[4] it was then, and remains today, the only synagogue in the Lebanon area.[6]
The congregation's current building, designed by Percival Goodman to mirror the barns of the surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch community, was dedicated in 1953.[2][3]
Rabbi Samuel W. Yolen, a graduate of The Academy of Jewish Religion in New York, is the current spiritual leader.[citation needed]
