William A. Blumstein: 1993-1997
"Since 1956 WRT is my home, it is the place where I made, nurtured and
continue to find a welcoming vibrant evolving community. It is where people,
spirituality, and education, come together to form sacred and caring communities,
where memories are created and where you find light when all grows dark.
WRT is not a place, but a moment, and then another, and another, continuing to build
on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that is yours forever."

our Reform Judaism is true to our history but dynamic and evolving

with deep meaning. My heart and soul are embedded at WRT."
