We would like to welcome our new Daled teacher, Morah Malka Greene. Morah Malka was the Assistant Program Director and Program Director for Jewish Educational Program for five years. She has had quite a lot of experience with children as a tutor, a mentor, a coach and now she is beginning her teaching career here at Ohav while finishing up her degree at Columbia University Teachers College.
As many of you already know, Mrs. Beiler who teaches the K’ton-Ton class, is out temporarily and her daughter, Morah Rachel will be filling in until she gets back. We welcome Morah Rachel and appreciate her help.
JEP begins next Wednesday, September 28, 2005. The Jewish Education Program of Long Island offers a wide range of educational and recreational programming aimed at Jewish youth ages 7-14 and their families. JEP will begin at 6:15 immediately following Hebrew School and it goes until 7:15. The girls that lead the JEP program bring pizza and you may purchase a slice or two from them for dinner.
Congregation Ohav Sholom is having our annual end of summer BBQ Sunday September 18. 4 PM on the lawn. We would like to invite you all to attend. If you’re not already a member of our synagogue but are interested in getting to know our synagogue family, please contact Fran Green at 781-0020 or email us at membership@ohav.org.
There are many ways you can stay informed about what’s happening in the Hebrew School or in the Shul as a whole.

You can always check out our Blog at www.ohavsholom.blogspot.com or you can sign up for the Shul’s weekly email newsletter, the Shofar, by going to www.ohav.org.
For those of you who are not familiar with the “Kosher Kart”, we instituted it last year. The “Kosher Kart” sells healthy snacks and water before Hebrew School begins. The “Kosher Kart” was developed to help parents provide snack without scrambling at home after school and before Hebrew School. Please note that the “Kosher Kart” will begin its service on Monday, September 19, 2005. Your children MUST be at school before the bell rings in order to get snack. Once the bell rings, the food is put away. There are NO exceptions as the students run the “Kosher Kart” themselves and they have to get to class. Snacks and water are each $.50 although Israeli snacks cost $1.00.
On Monday, September 26, 2005 at 5pm, Rabbi Wohlberg will be speaking to the children about the upcoming holidays. All parents are invited to attend. That’s all the news for now!
