Rockdale Temple

The Rockdale Temple, formally Kahal Kadosh Bene Israel (19th-century spelling K. K. Benai Israel), is an Ashkenazi Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Amberley Village, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States.

[3] In 1906 the congregation moved to the Neoclassical Rockdale Temple, designed by Cincinnati architect Rudolph Tietig (1877–1958).

[6] Throughout the long history of the congregation distinguished rabbis have relied on remarkably able and committed[peacock prose] lay leadership.

The Sisterhood (Women of Reform Judaism), the Brotherhood and the youth groups facilitate activities which enhance congregational life.

[7] Its rabbi, educator, staff and lay-leaders help to guide and teach congregants to create personally fulfilling expressions of their Judaism.

[peacock prose] It offers a choice of programming for the needs of its diverse congregation and emphasizes the value of lifelong learning.
