Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah Class: Who is Interested?

Many of the adults in our congregation never formally celebrated becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah and seek to do it as an adult. Rabbi Londy is exploring the creation of an Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah program.
The program will involve serious Jewish learning, community service, and synagogue attendance. Hebrew study will be available for those who seek it. Contact Rabbi Londy directly at rabbi@thenewreformtemple.com.

Be Part of NRTOMORROW The New Reform Temple Renovation for the Future

The New Reform Temple has embarked on an extraordinary project to upgrade and refurbish our 53-year-old congregation facility as we envision our needs for the decades ahead. The goal of our project reflects our values. We seek to make our building more physically accessible to our members, to beautify our congregation as a place of holiness and spirituality, to provide needed space for celebration, community, and programming, and to strengthen our reach to the community through modern communication technology.

This special project is a once in a generation undertaking.

We believe that it will enable our synagogue to move forward as a powerful force in the religious life of our members and of our community.

This exciting undertaking needs your support. Your input, insight and generosity are essential for our success!

We are eager to share our vision and plans for this project with our supportive members. Click here to view renovation plans.

A WEEKLY SCHMOOZE WITH OUR NRT COMMUNITY ON ZOOM

We are living in trying times.  The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted every part of our lives.

The New Reform Temple is a spiritual community but, for the time being, we must connect online. We are strengthened by sharing our hopes, fears, and feelings with each other.  Join Rabbi Londy along with other NRT members for an hour of talk, sharing, and, hopefully, some humor on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  Talk if you like.  Sit back and listen if you prefer. Only people who want to share will be asked to do so.

If you want to participate, email the temple at info@thenewreformtemple.com and we will send you an invite to our Zoom Conversation.
