New Rabbi At Westchester Reform Temple
Rabbi David Levy was installed as assistant rabbi at WRT.
Rabbi David E. Levy was installed as Assistant Rabbi of Westchester Reform Temple in Scarsdale on Friday, October 5.
Rabbi Levy was recently ordained by Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR)in New York. He grew up in a small town in Connecticut, before attending Drexel University where he earned his BS in Information Systems, Magna Cum Laude.
While pursuing his undergraduate degree, it became clear to him that his passion lay in working with the Jewish people, and not in a cubicle. He then served as a Jewish Campus Service Corps Fellow as part of a communal engagement program, at Hillel of the University of Connecticut, before beginning his studies at HUC-JIR in 2006. Due to his passion for education, Rabbi Levy studied for an extra year, and earned an MA in Religious Education while at HUC-JIR.
