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.

This year, the book will be created digitally and will be displayed during services on Yom Kippur day. The digital Book of Remembrance will be available for download on this site.

Creating a digital book allows us to also include photographs. If you would like to submit a picture in honor of a loved one, please either send the picture electronically to  or upload them via Shulcloud.

Please submit the names you wish to be listed no later than September 20, 2024. The cost is $10.00 per name for the listing and $18 for each photograph you would like to include.

To add the names of your loved ones to our Book of Remembrance, please click here.
