We are a growing Jewish community in the beautiful Vail Valley. Our congregation
presently includes 230 families and single households ranging from retired through
young families and young adults. 53 children are enrolled in our Judaic Studies
program and 2007 was our banner year during which we had seven B'nai Mitzvahs.
We are an active community committed to building a Jewish congregation that
is welcoming to individuals and families of all backgrounds including full
time locals, part time, summer and winter residents and visitors who are here
for just a short time. The beautiful and splendid natural environment that
surrounds us enhances our Jewish experience.
Within a supportive environment we seek to provide opportunities for Jewish
learning, spiritual development, meaningful Shabbat, holiday services, mutual
support and social activities.
Most importantly, B'nai Vail Congregation seeks to provide the opportunity
for every Jewish person, family and interfaith family to BELONG to our community,
so that they may connect with other Jews, regardless of the amount of time
they spend in the Vail Valley.
We also recognize that diversity is inherent in our Jewish tradition and diversity
is welcomed at B'nai Vail. B'nai Vail Congregation strives to integrate contemporary
Jewish and American traditions and values to strengthen our community here
in the Rocky Mountains.
For those of a previous generation who were turned off or were never turned
on by their Jewish experiences; for a generation seeking to create a vibrant
Jewish life for themselves and for the next generation of young Jews growing
up in the 21st century, B'nai Vail hopes to provide an intergenerational place,
a home for you, in this Jewish community.
