Safety
Registration isn’t required to visit, but we’d love to know that you’re joining us for the first time. We encourage you to call the office to let us know you’re coming!
As you approach our building for a service, you’ll see our wonderful and vigilant security team. RTFH greeters are right inside the front door and will welcome and guide you and your family to the sanctuary.
Transliteration
We’re relatable. You’ll find the frequent use of English alongside Hebrew, fully transliterated, in all of our liturgy, songs, and prayer books. We also provide a translated copy of the Torah for use as you follow along with clergy or perhaps the B’nai Mitzvah student.
Equal Participation
We’re an egalitarian and inclusive spiritual community. Men and women can sit together and participate equally in our services, as can interfaith family members, including on the bimah.
Connection
After the service, we invite you to stay and chat at one of our delicious onegs! We enjoy speaking with visitors in our beautiful ballroom and often serve a variety of baked goods and beverages. You’ll find plenty of seating and folks to talk about your weekend plans.
Keep in Touch
Registration is not required to visit, but we’re happy to take your contact information and keep connected after your visit. We frequently send out programming and event details via email, as well as weekly communication from our Rabbi and Cantor.
Parking
Street parking is available. RTFH is also located within walking distance of the E, F, R, and M subways. Nearby bus lines include the Q60, Q23, Q65, and the Forest Hills LIRR station. Paid parking lots are also available on Queens Blvd.
