At Westchester Reform Temple, holidays and festivals comprise the fabric of life and mark the sacred moments in time that bring our community together in observance and celebration. Each holiday prompts us in its unique way to experience the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the season, as well as to engage in the learning, social action, and arts and culture associated with its special moment.
Below is a calendar of when the holidays fall during the current year. To celebrate with our community during services and special programs, click here to visit our calendar of events.

NOTE: Each holiday begins and ends at sundown on the days listed. |
