Founding and Early Members

In 1968 Rabbi William Frankel and a small group of devoted families founded Am Yisrael Congregation.  It is our hope to uphold the values upon which this congregation was founded: open-mindedness, equality, fairness and a thirst for knowledge and understanding. We honor our founders and all they created.
