RSI Retirement Trust
317 Madison Avenue
New York, New York 10017

Dear Sirs:

     RSI Retirement Trust, a New York common law trust (the "Trust"),  is filing
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission a Rule 24f-2 Notice  containing the
information  specified in paragraph (b) (1) of Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule") under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").  We understand  that the Trust
has previously filed a registration  statement on Form N-1A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (File No. 2-95074), adopting the declaration authorized by paragraph
(a) (1) of the  Rule to the  effect  that an  indefinite  number  of  shares  of
beneficial  interest of the Trust (the  "Shares")  was being  registered by such
registration  statement.  We also  understand  that the Trust has  registered  a
definite  number of shares of beneficial  interest  pursuant to Rule 24e-2 under
the 1940 Act.  The effect of the Rule 24f-2  Notice,  when  accompanied  by this
opinion and by the filing fee, if any, payable as prescribed by paragraph (c) of
the Rule,  will be to make  definite  in number the number of Shares sold by the
Trust during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, in reliance upon the Rule
(the "Rule 24f-2 Shares").

     We have provided legal services to the Trust when requested to do so by the
Trust with respect to specific  matters since April,  1993. Our opinion is based
entirely upon the knowledge of the affairs of the Trust that we have gained from
providing  such  limited  services,  on our review of the form of the Rule 24f-2
Notice  being  filed  by the  Trust,  and our  review  of a copy of the  Trust's
original  certificate of authorization to do business,  dated November 20, 1940,
provided to us by an officer of the Trust.

     The Trust has advised us that the Rule 24f-2 Shares were sold in the manner
contemplated  by the  prospectus of the Trust  current at the time of sale,  and
that the Rule 24f-2 Shares were sold for a  consideration  not less than the net
asset value thereof as required by the 1940 Act.

               Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

               1.   The Trust has been duly  organized  and is legally  existing
                    under the laws of the State of New York.

               2.   The  Trust is  authorized  to issue an  unlimited  number of
                    Shares.

               3.   The Rule 24f-2 Shares were legally issued and are fully paid
                    and non-assessable.

     We hereby  consent to the filing of this  opinion with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission together with the Rule 24f-2 Notice of the Trust, and to the
filing of this opinion under the securities laws of any state.

                                 Very truly yours,

                                 /s/ Shereff, Friedman, Hoffman & Goodman, LLP

                                 Shereff, Friedman, Hoffman & Goodman, LLP
