Due to the current and pending weather conditions in New York City, we have decided to close the Temple building tomorrow (Monday, February 23, 2026) to ensure the safety and security of our congregants and staff. We expect to reopen on Tuesday (barring unsafe weather conditions), and the programming will resume as usual. Please stay safe and warm.
Welcome to The Reform Temple of Forest Hills, where warmth, inclusivity, and modern tradition come together—a place to celebrate, grow, learn, and connect.
We’re a vibrant and inclusive spiritual community committed to embracing diversity, repairing the world, and continuously exploring our faith. We welcome you to RTFH, whether you’re seeking spiritual fulfillment, discovering your Jewish identity, or passing down traditions to the next generation.
Our congregation draws strength from the power of community, from which our Temple family finds support, inspiration, and a sense of purpose. Join us on a meaningful journey of spirituality, learning, and connection as we celebrate our shared Jewish values.
