Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester, Reform Jewish synagogue in Chappaqua, New York, United States
Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester is a Reform Jewish synagogue in Chappaqua featuring an octagonal sanctuary inspired by Eastern European synagogue designs. The building houses a spacious main worship area that was expanded with additional sections in recent decades.
The site originated from designs by renowned architect Louis Kahn and was completed in 1972. The building has since been enlarged with additional spaces while maintaining its original design character.
The congregation runs education programs for all ages, including an Early Childhood Center and religious school. This makes the place a gathering point for families seeking to pass on their Jewish traditions.

This is one of only a handful of structures that were actually built from Louis Kahn's designs, making it quite rare. The presence of such an architectural work by this important designer draws those interested in modern building design.
