Among our 1,200 WRT households, you'll 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 communal involvement, we try to satisfy all appetites for Jewish soul-food, spiritual and physical.
We are an egalitarian Reform Jewish community that extends full privileges to all members regardless of length of membership, financial contribution, family legacy, or other criteria. Sanctuary seating, for example, is always on a “first come” basis, regardless of the holiday or event. Check out our history to learn more of the values that have guided this community.
We are particularly proud of our educational successes and national reputation as educational innovators in family education. Over 150 children participate in our Early Childhood Center, over 800 K-12th grade children study in our Religious school (over 200 in our incredibly successful Mercaz teen program), and hundreds of adults study Hebrew or Yiddish, participate in a three-year adult B'nei Mitzvah program, or just take advantage of our dozens of guest lectures, Shabbat dinner programs, films, and many social action volunteer activities.
WRT welcomes anyone seeking a caring Jewish community committed to learning, celebrating and serving. Join us and grow and develop individually and as a family as part of vibrant Reform Jewish community.
