Looking to the Future

The synagogue recently instituted a "Home Loan Incentive" campaign, whereby the shul lends money to prospective congregants looking to purchase a home in the community. With astronomical real estate prices in Greater Boston's other Jewish neighborhoods, the campaign has sparked a considerable amount of interest. In return, the congregation expects to boost its active membership.

The shul's website -- www.BethIsraelMalden.com -- has generated over 1,000 visits per month from people interested in seeing what the inside of the synagogue looks like, taking a "neighborhood tour' -- or just checking to learn if the eruv will be operational on the coming Shabbat.

In the face of compromise and abandonment of strong Torah ideals by so many Jewish communities across America, Beth Israel has remained steadfast and firm in the tenets of Orthodox Judaism. The shul's 100-year history provides a reason: While many contemporary American Jewish leaders have been preoccupied with the dilemma of how to make the Torah's wisdom fit the modern Jew, Beth Israel's leaders have instead demonstrated how to make today's Jew fit into the Torah's way of life.

Herein lies the source of our shul's strength and stability. And it is the banner the congregation will carry into our next century.

Founded by a small group of Jewish immigrants at the beginning of the last century, Beth Israel looks forward to a new period of growth, prosperity and uncompromising Torah commitment.
