May 7 Hebrew School Shabbat

In order to help further familiarize Ohav Sholom's religious school students with the shabbat services and to showcase their abilities, we are having a "youth shabbat" on May 7th. Hebrew School children will be participating in the congregation service in the main sanctuary.

Each student will be expected to arrive by 9:30 AM.

If you have not already done so, please make sure to inform the office of your attendance and your child's participation in this shabbat service.

If you are planning on attending the service with your child(ren) and would like to be given an aliya or honor, please speak with Mr. Jack Rubel, our educational director. There are a limited number of honors that are available and we will try to accommodate those who indicate interest on a first come first serve basis.

Shabbat Shalom.
