Congregation Beth Israel is a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Glendale, a suburb north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The congregation was founded in 1884 as Congregation B'ne Jacob, undergoing several organizational changes before reconstituting as Beth Israel in 1901. Its original synagogue building, constructed in 1925 on Teutonia Avenue in Byzantine Revival style, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, though the congregation sold that structure in 1959. The current building at 6880 North Green Bay Road was constructed in three phases between 1962 and 1980. As of 2011, Beth Israel merged with Temple Beth El Ner Tamid to form Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid, the only synagogue in Milwaukee at that time affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.
