    A message from temple president, Robin Bass

    Welcome to Reform Temple of Putnam Valley. We are a small, friendly congregation in beautiful Putnam Valley. We offer many opportunities for individuals and families, from services and workshops to social events and social action. Our dues are very low compared to most congregations, and we want to keep it that way. However, that also means we depend on the generosity of our community and friends to help fill the gaps. Please consider making a donation to honor a lifecycle event, a loved one or as part of our annual giving.

    Please mail your tax-deductible donation to:
