The Kol Nidre appeal is a traditional call to worship which has become synonymous with tzedakah (giving charity). Temple dues do not cover all costs, especially programmatic activities. RTFH’s budget continues to depend on this High Holy Day appeal. We appreciate any amount that you can afford to give.
Donations can be paid in monthly installments not greater than 7 months. If you are over 70 1/2, you could be eligible to use your IRA tax free. For further information, please call the Temple office.

Order Prayerbooks (Machzorim) for HHD
The Reform Temple of Forest Hills is thrilled to be livestreaming the entire High Holy days from the Sanctuary for those who are unable to join us in person. Join us remotely and share the link with family and friends www.rtfh.org/live.
While we have a prayerbook (machzor) for everyone attending in person, for those joining us on the livestream, you might want to invest in your own copy of Mishkan HaNefesh so you can easily follow along and participate in the service.

Book of Remembrance
Our Book of Remembrance is an important tradition at RTFH. This booklet contains the names of our loved ones. Sharing these names as a community memorializes them in our collective memories.
The Book of Remebrance will be displayed beautifully during services on Yom Kippur day. The digital Book of Remembrance will be available for download on this site.
Our digital book allows you to include photographs of your loved one. If you would like to submit a picture please either send the picture electronically to or upload them via Shulcloud.
The cost is $10.00 per name for the listing and $18 for each photograph you would like to include.
