In March 1996 a dream became realized when the Reform Congregation of Weston was incorporated with Rabbi Norman Lipson as founding Rabbi and Scott Pestcoe as first President. Our synagogue began its rapid and unprecedented growth from its beginning with eight families to today, sixteen years later, with approximately 600 families.
Under the leadership of our past presidents; Scott Pestcoe, Lisa Bennett, Ed Sternlieb, Michelle Gold,
Adam Zipper and our current President Iris Kauffman, our congregation has moved from its humble beginnings in a storefront into our permanent home which houses our administrative offices, Early Childhood Center, Religious School and Youth Lounge. With the hard work and generosity of our congregants, we have completed Phase II of our building plan, which consists of our Social Hall, Atrium, Library and Rabbi’s Study. We look forward to entering Phase III during which we will complete our building process with the construction of our sanctuary.
Consistent with our name, youth groups are established for every child, from birth through high school. Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Empty Nesters groups were also established to provide our adult members with opportunities to become involved in the Temple through organized programs and community and social services. Within its permanent home at 2360 Glades Circle, Temple Dor Dorim looks forward to fulfilling the teachings of God and Torah with all its heart, soul and might, Throughout the Generations.
