Rabbi Marci Bellows leads Congregation Beth Shalom Rodfe Zedek in Chester, CT.

Here she welcomes a visitor to the synagogue, which celebrated its 100th birthday in 2015. The building was designed by artist Sol Lewitt, who was a member of the congregation until his death in 2007. The Reform congregation’s approach, as stated on its website — cbsrz.org — is “ancient and cool.”
