Beth David Congregation

What Beth David Congregation does

Beth David Congregation is a Conservative Jewish congregation and 501(c)(3) religious nonprofit established in 1912 and based in Miami, Florida. It operates under the public identity "Center for Jewish Life at Beth David," positioning itself as an integrated community hub rather than a standalone synagogue, serving member families across religious, educational, and social programming needs.

The organization's core offerings include weekly religious services, lifecycle events (b'nai mitzvah, weddings, funerals), adult and youth education, and social and cultural programming. It operates the affiliated Gordon School, a K-12 Jewish day school that embeds general and Judaic studies within the congregational ecosystem. Back-office operations run on third-party SaaS platforms — Daxko for membership and facility management, and Funraise for online giving — indicating a modernized but conventional nonprofit technology stack.

Beth David's revenue model is a typical congregation mix: member dues, religious-school tuition from the Gordon School, voluntary donations and pledges, program and event fees, and facility rentals. The customer base is a long-tail of member households in the Miami Jewish community; there is no B2B or enterprise counterpart. The organization is led by Senior Rabbi Jacobs alongside Rabbi Nachshon Carmi, and operates with an 11-50 employee footprint consistent with a mid-sized metropolitan congregation.
