A SHUL THAT SPEAKS TO THE HEART OF EVERY JEW
Congregation B’nai Israel – Ohev Zedek (BIOZ) is a vibrant, welcoming shul in Northeast Philadelphia that speaks to the heart of every Jew. BIOZ is rooted in Kedushah, Kehillah, and Mesorah. In a chaotic world, we are a sanctuary for spiritual meaning (Kedushah). In a world where it is difficult to connect, we are a gathering place for social bonds and support (Kehillah). In a world that focuses on the now, our shul is a beacon for the preservation of our heritage – where one can become and remain an inspired Jew and pass on Torah values to the next generation (Mesorah).
BIOZ takes great pride in offering dynamic rabbinic leadership, a variety of opportunities for Torah study, and inspirational minyanim. It is a home to a robust youth department, meaningful lifecycle events, wholesome social activities, and a warm N’shei.
