North Country Reform Temple Ner Tamid strives to provide Long Island's North Shore with a center for Reform Jewish Values. Our temple supports and promotes a dynamic Jewish community from generation to generation through an inclusive and participatory approach to Worship, Study, Mitzvot, and Social Activities.
People of all backgrounds will find a home in our congregation. Some of our members come from traditionally observant homes, while others have lead a more secular lifestyle. Many of our most active members are Jews by choice and we welcome the participation of parents and partners who continue in their own faith as they raise a family in ours.
Those who have felt cut off from religious life for a variety of reasons have a found a spiritual home at NCRT. Our temple family reaches out to everyone - including you.
We invite you to browse our website to learn more About Us. Come discover the North Shore's Best Kept Secret. The Little Temple in the Woods.

NCRT Book Club
Monday September 27th at 10am
The NCRT Book Club will be discussing The Coffee Trader by David Liss, a story that takes place in Amsterdam, 1659. On the world’s first commodities exchange, fortunes are won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the city’s close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too well. Once among the city’s most envied merchants, Miguel has suddenly lost everything. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living in his younger brother’s canal-flooded basement, Miguel must find a way to restore his wealth and reputation.
