Congregation Beth Israel (Hebrew: בית ישראל) is a Conservative synagogue, located for most of its history at 144 York Street in Bangor, Maine. The oldest continuously operating synagogue in Maine, it was organized in 1888 after an influx to Maine of Lithuanian and Polish Jews. There was a previous community of German Jews from the 1850s named Congregation Ahawas Achim (founded in 1849), who gradually assimilated or left Maine, leaving behind the Webster Street cemetery plot now maintained by the Bangor Jewish community.
