High Holy Days

Welcome to The Reform Temple of Rockland’s High Holy Days 5784. During these unprecedented times, we’re glad you turned to us for your spiritual needs and to experience what we call Joyful Judaism. 

RTR embraces our family of members as well as supports the community at large through various charitable actions. Please help us continue Reform Judaism in Rockland County and provide services to those in need by making a contribution to our High Holy Days Appeal. Thank you in advance for your support.

L’Shana Tova! We wish you a happy, sweet and healthy New Year!
