Message from Jack Rubel, Principal

Ohav Sholom is a traditional synagogue that provides a warm and caring, non-judgmental atmosphere for prayer, study and fellowship. Our children explore their Jewish roots, learn the meaning behind our prayers and experience the importance of giving back to both the Jewish and greater community through a charitable deeds program. To those who aren't quiet sure about where to go for their children's Jewish education, I hope that you will come see me. I'd love to show you around and discuss our program. Be sure to ask to see a copy of the Rabbi approved curriculum.

For us, providing an enriching Jewish education is not just a desire, it is an obligation. As a result, we have put great effort into making our school the best, most nurturing school it can be. Our students receive an individualized solid Jewish education. We are also pleased to be incorporating the resources of a brand new library with computer stations into our curriculum.We are looking forward to an exciting, innovative and productive year under the guidance of our experienced staff and faculty. We began the 2003-2004 year with a fun-filled instructive "Make Your Own Shofar" workshop in which every child made his or her own shofar. We are looking forward to many more exciting programs for the 2004-2005 school year.While one cannot minimize the importance of Jewish "book" learning, in our religious school, we very much stress the importance of learning through the performance of mitzvot. In the past we have helped raise money for the Israel Emergency Fund, Zaka, which provided medical scooters for Israeli paramedics.

This year, we will once again be involved with Bikur Cholim, collecting books written in English that will be sent to Israel to supplement school libraries.We are also hosting JEP, an after school program that meets on Wednesday nights from 6:15 PM to 7:15 PM.

High School students offer individualized tutoring and play games with the children, providing a wonderful Jewish atmosphere. Several of our students also enjoy participating in JEP weekend Shabbatons.Some of this year's upcoming events will include the Sukkah Happening, a Chanukkah celebration, a Purim carnival and our Charoset Bowl.

Registration is now open for all grades. I look forward to meeting you and your children.
