Rabbi Jeremy Wiederhorn has served The Conservative Synagogue in Westport for over 15 years.
He is president of the Interfaith Clergy Association of Westport and Weston, and past president of the New York Board of Rabbis.
The other day, Rabbi Wiederhorn joined me at the Westport Library for a wide-ranging conversation. He discussed his move from Las Vegas to Westport (“a very good bet”); religious life here; the importance of his interfaith work, and the aftermath of Hamas’ terrorist attacks, both here and in Israel (where his 2 children live; his daughter is part of the IDF).
Rabbi Wiederhorn provides an insightful, nuanced and timely view of his synagogue, his faith, and our town. Click below to view:
A truly beautiful interview. Westport benefits greatly from Rabbi Wiederhorn’s leadership. I especially appreciate his answer to what would be his message to Westport. Worth the listen! As a new clergy member in town, I also appreciate his reaching out and making time to meet newcomers amidst this harrowing time.
Dan-
Once again great interview. you know how to ask the right questions. I was on the Rabbi search committee over 15 years ago when TCS selected Rabbi Wiederhorn, and am glad to hear that he will be around for that many more.
