We are delighted that you are interested in Westchester Reform Temple (WRT). Our experiences with WRT span every life cycle event in our own families, and we have also been an active part of the growth of this dynamic, caring, and spiritual congregation. The materials enclosed will provide you with a sample of life at WRT, but we look forward to speaking with you personally in the coming weeks to answer any questions you may have.

Among the 1,200 WRT member households you will find the embodiment of Reform Jewish diversity in America today. Within our ever-evolving Reform tradition that seeks to find in ancient traditions meaningful expressions of prayer, song, ritual, study and community involvement, we try to satisfy all appetites for Jewish soul-food, spiritual and physical. We strive to realize this through our five pillars of Avodah (Spirituality), Chavurah (Community), Talmud Torah (Learning), Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World), and Clal Yisrael (The Jewish People).

The congregation was founded in 1953 and in 1954 world famous architect Marcel Breuer designed the original building with the sanctuary in the shape of a Star of David. Continuing in the tradition of creating meaningful spaces of worship and learning, last year WRT completed a new “green” sanctuary and transformed the original spaces into new classrooms for our Religious School and a Beit Midrash – place of study. We are an active congregation that always seeks to honor the past with an eye to the future of our community and the world beyond our walls. We welcome anyone seeking a caring Jewish community committed to learning, celebrating and serving.
