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. Founded in 1824, it is the oldest Jewish congregation west of the Allegheny Mountains,[1] the oldest congregation in Ohio, the second oldest Ashkenazi congregation in the United States and one of the oldest synagogues in the United States.

The synagogue is easily accessible from both I-71 (exit 14) and I-75 (exit 10) via the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway.
