TBT is a welcoming, inclusive Reform Jewish Congregation in Upper Nyack, NY which offers dynamic educational, spiritual and social programs for all ages.
In March of 1965, thirteen families gathered in one of their homes to form what would become Temple Beth Torah. Within a year, a wooded tract on Route 9W was acquired and the original building opened in 1966. Known as the ‘Shul with a Pool,’ this small group of dedicated families gathered strength and grew, developing the infrastructure needed for a long and vibrant future.
Continued growth throughout the 1980s and ’90s left TBT with a challenge – we had outgrown our facility for the second time since our inception. Just seven years ago we completed a major expansion and renovation resulting in the magnificent sacred space and programming facility we enjoy today.
As Temple Beth Torah begins its fifth decade, there are several families who have third generation members. The years have brought an evolution in style, but the ideals remain the same.
We are a welcoming and passionate community that inspires one another to seek new spiritual heights (avodah). Together, we pursue life-long Jewish learning and enrich our lives through active Jewish living (Torah). We consider it our sacred obligation to make the world around us a better place (gemilut hasadim).
At TBT, we pride ourselves on being a diverse community with doors wide open. We are a congregation proud of our past, enjoying what we have created together for our present, and enthusiastic about the bright future that lies before us.
