The Congregation B'nai Jacob (transliterated from Hebrew as "Sons of Jacob") is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 75 Rimmon Road, in Woodbridge, Connecticut, in the United States.[1]
Congregation B'nai Jacob was established in New Haven in 1882.[2] Founded by Orthodox Ashkenazi Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms in the Russian Empire, it was first on Temple Street in New Haven, then moved to George Street in 1912, in a building completed in the Moorish Revival style.[2] [3]
In 1961, the congregation moved to Woodbridge, following the construction of a new synagogue designed by Fritz Nathan and Bertram Bassuk in the Modernist style. A defining feature of the sanctuary is an impressive display of stained-glass windows by Jean-Jacques Duval.[3] [4]
Rona Shapiro was appointed the congregation's first female rabbi in 2013.[5]
