Congregation Rodfei Zedek is a synagogue located in Hyde Park. We are a small but vibrant and engaged congregation, and we believe that a core part of community-building is eating together.

We are proud to provide our members with complimentary Kiddush Lunch (meal following Saturday morning services) every week, and we host community dinners around big holidays. We work hard to make sure that our menu options vary week over week while keeping cost low and maximizing efficiency.
