Congregation Beth Israel (Onset, Massachusetts)

Congregation Beth Israel (בית ישראל), sometimes called Cape Cod Shul and officially Congregation Beth Israel of Onset Cape Cod, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 7 Locust Street, Onset, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the United States.

Historically, it is well known as the summer synagogue of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and some of his students from the 1950s until the mid-1960s, when his wife died. The clapboard building was originally a furniture store, before it was converted to a synagogue in 1948.

Initially a destination for Jewish vacationers from Boston, Beth Israel now attracts Jews from Toronto, Montreal, and New York City from a "wide cross-section of Orthodoxy", including "Young Israel, Chabad, Chasidim from Montreal, Charedim, Carlebach Chasidim, very-left wing (Edah) and 'Conservadox'." The synagogue maintains three daily minyans throughout the summer and through the High Holidays.
