OSTNS Town Hall: Save the date for the evening of Monday, June 14 at 7 PM for the first of a series of Town Hall meetings with new synagogue president, Andy Binstock. Registration will be limited to ensure that everyone can participate fully, but stay tuned for several more of them. Registration details will be posted early next week.
This week's dessert kiddush to-go is sponsored in sincere appreciation for the work of Yaakov Roth and the outgoing Board of Directors. Under the terribly difficult circumstances of the global pandemic and a difficult time for the community, the Directors and Officers who served the past two years have worked very hard for the good of Ohev Sholom, and earned our gratitude and respect. May they all continue from strength-to-strength, enjoy a break from endless shul-topic e-mails, and continue to work with the Ohev and DC Jewish communities in other ways for years to come.
