  • Congregation Beth Israel (Hebrew: בית ישראל‎) is a Conservative synagogue located at 411 South Eighth Street in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1907 to provide services for the High Holidays, it was then, and remains today, the only synagogue in the Lebanon area. The congregation's current building, designed by Percival Goodman to mirror the barns of the surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch community, was dedicated in 1953. Steven M. Glazer was rabbi from 1970 to 1977, and Louis Zivic from 1983 to 2004. Zivic was succeeded by Paula Reimers; as of 2009, Reimers was Beth Israel's rabbi, and Judith Clark was its president.
