Honor Shabbats


In December 2010, February 2011 and April 2011, we will come together to partake in three special Shabbat services honoring all past Presidents of Oheb Shalom Congregation and Beth Torah, the founding families, the spirit of volunteerism within the congregation, and the generations of congregants who had simchas at Oheb Shalom.

HONOR SHABBAT - FEBRUARY 5


On Saturday, February 5th we continue the celebration of our 150th anniversary with an Honor Shabbat recognizing our volunteers, past and present. Members who have served on committees and behind the scenes make Oheb Shalom the warm place it is and always has been.

David Mallach, Managing Director of the Commission on the Jewish People at the UJA Federation of NY, will deliver an enlivening talk on the importance of volunteerism from the Jewish perspective. David resides in Maplewood and was Assistant Executive Vice President at UJC MetroWest.

We will celebrate the satisfaction of giving to something larger than ourselves and share a beautiful kiddush lunch.
