Kiddush is sponsored by Ruth, Yoni, Ezra, Jobe, and Cocoa Friedman in enormous gratitude to Harris Cohen for driving two hours each way on Sunday evening to rescue us from the NJ Turnpike, after a (thankfully minor!) car accident rendered our car unsafe to drive.
To sponsor a future kiddush, please email Alejandra@ostns.org.

Tisha B'av begins next motzei Shabbat, August 6th. Stay tuned for davening and programming details.

Minyan Corner
Based on continued feedback, we will be moving Mincha/Maariv later to begin approximately 15 minutes before Sunset, beginning on Sunday, July 31 when we will start at 8:00 PM. Please continue to make every effort to attend minyan using the sign up  here. Thank you!

Hello Fellow Ohev Members,

Due to the constraints of Covid, we haven't had the chance to engage with each other socially, nor have we been able to welcome new members (joined in the last 1-5 years) in an official capacity. Feel free to sign up for one/both of these new initiatives to socialize and welcome new members. Link to the programs can be found here.

1. Buddy Program- Sign on to be a buddy family! Buddy families will be paired with new shul members and will welcome new members in whatever ways they choose (inviting for high holidays, sending Mishloach Manot, invitations for meals, playdates, assisting with getting set up in the community, etc)

2. Shabbat Meal Hosting Program- Some weeks you may not want to cook a meal and some weeks you may want to host a meal! Sign up to be a host or be hosted by someone else and we will pair you together :) We only listed three months at a time.

Please let us know if you have any questions,
Dafna Sherman and Ruthie Arbit 

The shul has a YouTube account which has recordings of past classes, shiurim, and events. They can be accessed here:
