B’nai Zion Congregation was established in Shreveport more than 160 years ago. We are a charter member of the Union of Reform Judaism. As a Reform Jewish congregation, we have deep Jewish roots, with flexibility that suits the needs of modern Jews. Our worship services are filled with inspiration and music. We provide programming, spiritual, social and educational programs for members of all ages. We have a Religious School for children three years old to Confirmation run by an Education Director who has been in our community for generations, an active pre-school group and ShFTY (the Shreveport Federation of Temple Youth - part of NFTY Southern), our teen-age youth group. We offer regular Torah Study, book club meetings, a Sisterhood, and Brotherhood. Our We Care committee provides meals and visits to members who are ill or recuperating. We maintain our own cemeteries. Our Rabbi teaches and guides us, and officiates at all life cycle events, holidays, and is a Spiritual Leader respected in the interfaith community.

 

We are proud to be a "house of prayer for all people." We are a warm and welcoming congregation where hearts and souls are nourished, friendships are grown, minds are expanded and Jewish life is celebrated!

 

Whether you are looking for a comfortable Jewish experience, or a place to experience Judaism, please consider B'nai Zion.

    Havdalah and Minyan with Rabbi Jana on Zoom

    Motzei Shabbat, May 3rd 8:40p to 9:10p
    Join Rabbi Jana for Havdalah (separate Shabbat from the rest of the week) and a brief service so that she can have a minyan to say Kaddish. Bring your own candles, wine/grape juice, and spices for the Havdalah, or just watch. There will also be a very brief service (if we have a minyan) so that she can say Kaddish to honor her mother's memory. Invite your friends & family. We hope to continue this new tradition every week - but note that the time will change each week, depending on Havdalah time.
