Congregation Sons of Israel

About

First Congregation Sons of Israel is a conservative egalitarian synagogue and one of the oldest continuing operating synagogues in Florida.

Story

First Congregation Sons of Israel is located in the beautiful historic district of “The Nation’s Oldest City” St. Augustine, Florida. We are a small congregation with a seating capacity of 225. We have Sabbath services each Friday evening and Saturday morning as well as all Holiday services.

Sons of Israel provides a warm and caring Jewish atmosphere in which we recognize the need for a friendly and comforting house of worship. Our membership is considered our most important asset and we strive to provide opportunities to participate in a Jewish experience that will enhance the family spirit of our Congregation.

Whether you are a single parent, single adult, senior citizen or a conventional family, Sons of Israel has something for you. We have an active Hebrew School that is free to new members for the first year. We have an active social agenda and we actively participate in Civic affairs.

Congregation Sons of Israel is growing and we would like to include you as members. Although our annual dues are moderate, on a need basis our membership requirements can be structured to accommodate unusual financial circumstances in a confidential manner to assist those who wish to join. After five years, Congregation membership includes rights to free internment at our Jewish Cemetery.

Mission

The mission of the First Congregation Sons of Israel is to foster a welcoming, participatory Jewish congregation rooted in G-d, Torah, and community that strengthens our tradition and identity, through educational, religious, and spiritual growth.
