Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 220 South Bedford Road, in Chappaqua, Northern Westchester, New York, in the United States.
Founded in 1949,[1] it is notable for its synagogue building, designed by Louis Kahn.
[2] According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Kahn accepted the commission in 1966, and completed plans for the octagonal sanctuary six years later, conceived as a Modernist memorial to the Eastern European Jewish past, after whose wooden synagogues it was patterned.
[3][4] A 23,000-square-foot (2,100 m2) extension of the synagogue, comprising a large social hall, a kitchen, classrooms, a nursery school, a library, a chapel, a lobby, and new bathrooms was completed by Alexander Gorlin Architects in 2015.
