Stephen S. Wise Temple

Stephen S. Wise Temple was began in 1964 by Rabbi Isaiah Zeldin and 35 families. In the years since, it has expanded to what you see today, a progressive Synagogue that blends Jewish values, ethics, and traditions into a house of worship and community. We're a Reform congregation and are members of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) the umbrella organization for the Reform movement. Now with over 3, 000 member families, six rabbis, two cantors, four Schools on three campuses, we're among the biggest Reform synagogues in the country. Yet, our size is simply a means to provide the breadth of services and attention that we seek to give to each and every personal member of our community.
