Jewish Life

We are fortunate to be adjacent to Congregation B’nai Israel, a conservative synagogue that has been a part of the St. Petersburg community for over 90 years. Daily minions are held and residents are invited to join all synagogue activities. This proximity allows our residents even more opportunities to participate in a Jewish lifestyle and to continue to enjoy their traditions.

For those who practice Reform Judaism, Temple Beth-El is just a short drive away and also offers weekly services and a variety of activities from which to choose.

In addition, our relationship with the Jewish Community Center, the Jewish Federation, Gulf Coast Jewish Family Services, and various temples and synagogues in the area allow us to provide a multitude of inter-generational Jewish services and programming.
