General Info

About Congregation BHBI We are a small, friendly, Conservative Congregation with a long history in Rochester. Our member-led services, in which both men and women participate fully, provide a warm and intimate setting in which each congregant may participate and learn according to their own level of interest and comfort. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming, with opportunities for children to participate throughout the service. BHBI is located in the heart of the historic East Avenue preservation district, close to the town of Brighton and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Weekly Shabbat Evening services take place Friday at 8: 00 pm, with Shabbat Morning services Saturday, beginning at 9: 30 am. Kiddush usually includes a light lunch. Most Sundays, the Men's Club hosts a service, breakfast, and discussion beginning at 9: 00 am, to which all are invited. See the monthly calendar on our Home page for specific times and dates. Visitors are always welcome! Further details about our Congregation's activities and services can be found on our More Information page.
