Founded in 1925,[2] it was organized by I.L. Benjamin upon the death of his father, and originally called Kahelas Israel Congregation. At the time there were only nine Jewish families in Salisbury.[3]
Beth Israel moved to its current building in 1951.[1]
In 2006 the congregation was recognized by both the Wicomico County and Salisbury councils for eighty years of providing services and programs to "residents of the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware and Virginia".[2][4]
