ABOUT US
Jewish Americans are American citizens of the Jewish faith and/or Jewish ethnicity. The Jewish community in the United States has been composed predominantly of Ashkenazim Jews who emigrated from Central and Eastern Europe and their U.S. born descendants.
A minority from all Jewish ethnic divisions are also represented and seem to be growing rapidly which include, Sephardi Jews, Mizrahi Jews, and many converts. The Jewish American community manifests a wide range of Jewish cultural traditions, as well as encompassing the full spectrum of Jewish religious observance.
As the oldest synagogue in Kern County, Congregation B'nai Jacob, has been one of the major sources of Jewish life here in Bakersfield. Our Conservative shul blends concern for Jewish tradition and a warm, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere. Congregation B'nai Jacob's members span all ages, professions, and a wide variety of backgrounds. We welcome singles and families, young and old, and we take extra effort to make Judaism special for children.
Please come and visit us. Congregation B'nai Jacob is located at 2906 Loma Linda Drive, Bakersfield, California.
