Worcester is home to a dedicated Jewish population, who attend six synagogues, including Reform congregations Temple Emanuel and Temple Sinai, and Congregation Beth Israel, a Conservative synagogue founded in 1924. The synagogue and its rabbi were the subject of the book And They Shall be My People: An American Rabbi and His Congregation by Paul Wilkes.
