B'nai Jacob Library
Engage with the rich resources of the B'nai Jacob Library. Organized in 1962 and housing over 10,000 books, newspapers, periodicals, and audio-visual materials of Jewish content, our library serves not only the congregation and religious school but also the Greater New Haven community.
The library boasts an extensive collection of reference materials, including both standard classical Judaica and the latest in Jewish publishing. Whether you are looking for study materials, pleasure reading, enrichment programs for the school, story hours, or teaching resources, our library has something to offer.
In addition to these resources, the B'nai Jacob Archives contains hundreds of documents and photographs that chronicle the synagogue's history from 1882 to the present.
This versatile space is also available for rental, making it an ideal location for meetings and events.

Calling all singers! Please join Cantor Kochava and the Greater New Haven community to participate in a monthly niggun circle. Niggunim are soulful, wordless melodies which can be used to enhance spiritual reflection and communal connection. We will be meeting on the last Wednesday of each month from 7-8pm. We will alternate between Congregation B’nai Jacob and BEKI. If you would like to be on the email list, please email Cantor Kochava at cantorkochava@bnaijacob.org.
