​Jewish worshipers routinely pay big bucks to attend ​religious ​services for the High Holy Days — but this one takes the cake.

Steve Croman​, the so-called “Bernie Madoff of landlords,” ​handed over a $3 million check in Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday and a judge agreed to put off his surrender to jail until after the holidays.

The move lets Croman celebrate Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur at home, not behind bars, ​after he copped to charges of ​grand larceny, tax fraud and filing a false instrument​.​

Judge Jill Konvisor​ ​agreed​ to Croman attorney Benjamin Brafman​’s ​request, ​but warned ​his stone-faced client to return to court Oct. 3, when he’ll be sent to jail for a year.

The whopping payment is the first installment in a $5 million settlement he agreed to fork over when he pleaded guilty in June.

Croman faced up to 25 years in prison on charges of harassing rent-stabilized tenants so he could lease their units at market rates and inflating his rental receipts in order to fraudulently secure $45 million in bank loans.

He was dubbed the “Bernie Madoff of landlords” by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, after an investigation by the AG’s Office found he’d falsely claimed rent-stabilized units in his properties were market-rate.
