Welcome to Beth Israel Congregation, a full service “Area Synagogue” with members coming from Florence and numerous outlying communities within a 60-mile radius. Today, Beth Israel is the center for all Jewish life in the northeastern, ‘Pee Dee’, area of South Carolina.

 Established as a Reform congregation in 1922, Beth Israel is in the mainstream of Reform Judaism and Jewish Tradition. During the year, you will enjoy participating in our services including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Hanukkah, Purim, and Passover. Rabbi Aaron Sherman, our members, and our staff assist in the preparation and celebration of life cycle events such as B’nei Mitzvot, Confirmations, weddings, brit milot/baby namings, and sitting shiva.
