Ohef Sholom Temple

Our Teshuvah Stories: Journeys to Judaism series begins this Friday. Over 3 Shabbats, congregants from different backgrounds will share their spiritual journeys and the role Judaism plays in their lives. One speaker is born Jewish, one has chosen Judaism, and one is active in the OST community without being Jewish. Our first speaker is Zibby Robertson.

Join us for the Senior Shabbat Experience at Ohef Sholom Temple, featuring a special musical presentation celebrating beloved Broadway songs written by Jewish composers and lyricists. Through music and stories, you'll discover the people and history behind some of Broadway's most memorable classics.
The evening also includes a traditional Shabbat dinner and services with friends, both old and new.
This program is open to everyone. There is no cost for adults age 75+ and their immediate family members, thanks in part to a generous Beth Sholom Village grant.
Transportation is available from Harbor's Edge and The Talbot.
Registration required.
