We Stand In Support of Israel
We are Bnai Israel: A Diverse Community
“We Are Bnai Israel: A Diverse Community” is a video presentation featuring five Bnai Israel families who represent the many faces that make up our BIC community. It was produced by our Open Doors Diversity & Inclusion Committee to illustrate how our membership reflects some of the many kinds of Jews and Jewish families in our contemporary world.

Security & Visitation Procedures
Given the current situation and heightened risk to our community, we ask that everyone carefully follow our security and building entry/exit procedures.
If you plan to visit the Shul:
Please call the office ahead of time at: 910-762-1117 to let us know when you plan to come.
When entering the building:
Please do NOT let anyone you do not know walk in behind you. They must ring the doorbell and be granted access.
If you plan on bringing a friend or visitor to services:
Call the office ahead of time to let us know so that we can have them on our pre-approved visitor list for services that day.
We continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of all our congregants and visitors, and we thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.
Harris Teeter Together in Education Program (BIC #4120)
The Harris Teeter Together in Education Program, which sends money quarterly to linked schools and organizations, is starting up again on August 1, 2022. Please make sure you link your VIC card to our Together in Education Account # 4120.
Just ask a Harris Teeter cashier to link your VIC card to Bnai Israel School Account # 4120. All they will need is your last name, your VIC card number and your phone number. There is no cost to you and a great benefit to Bnai Israel every time you use your VIC card.
