Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester is a Reform Jewish congregation in Chappaqua, New York. Founded in 1949,[1] it is notable for its synagogue building, designed by Louis Kahn. Although Kahn designed other synagogues, this is the only one of his designs that was built.[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.[3]
