Beth Israel continued its beloved summer tradition of Kabbalat Shabbat on the beach, held Friday, August 15. Worshippers gathered on the Huntington Avenue beach in Margate, where cool ocean breezes and the cries of sea gulls provided a serene backdrop for the service led by Rabbi Michael L. Feshbach and Cantor Marshall Portnoy. For more than 30 years, Beth Israel has hosted this unique experience—the first congregation in the area to bring Shabbat to the shore.
The largest Reform congregation on the Mainland in South Jersey, Beth Israel is a warm and welcoming home to generations of families who play a vital and integral part in synagogue life. A full-service congregation, Beth Israel welcomes diversity, interfaith families, LGBTQ Jews and partners, Jews of color, and all types of modern Jewish families, wherever they may be found on their personal Jewish journey.
