Campus Overview
January 29, 1922: carrying the Torah, the American flag, and lighted candles, the founding members marched to the new building and opened its doors for the first time. In 2002, with the help of a bequest by long-time member Minnie Brown, Beth Israel purchased a building at 906 Washington Street to serve as the permanent home of the Hebrew School. Nearly a century following the first Jewish presence in Bath, Beth Israel has a Jewish cemetery.
