Although the sanctuary has been open for Shabbat services in recent weeks, Ohev Shalom will be “all virtual” on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur except for those required for the Torah Service. We invite all members to join us for services this year from their homes. We are installing new cameras through the generosity of many donors, and we anticipate an enhanced Livestream experience.

If you have questions or need assistance registering for events, please call the COS office at 407-298-4650.

Hebrew School

Hebrew school is underway on zoom.

Never too late to enroll. See link below.

Hebrew School Registration open for 2020-2021 school year.

https://www.ohevshalom.org/form/religious-school-registration-2020.html

At this time you will only pay tuition, books, and supplies. Snack fees will be billed when we return to in-person instruction. The first day of school regardless will be August 16! We hope to be able to see everyone at the start of the new school year.

We will be starting school virtually but will be re-evaluating regularly the possibility of adding in and moving toward in-person learning.

If finances are of concern PLEASE ask for assistance. We also have several congregants who have offered to help any Ohev Shalom family struggling financially. Please let us know if you know someone who needs help.

Hearing Loop Installed

Congregation Ohev Shalom has installed a Hearing Loop in the sanctuary, chapel, and ballrooms. This is to assist those with hearing loss hear more clearly during services. A Hearing Loop is an assistive listening system that transmits sound directly into one’s hearing aids or cochlear implants rather than depending on sound coming from the loudspeakers. To receive the Loop signal and hear more clearly, you will need to manually activate your T-coil or “telephone” setting on your hearing aid or cochlear implant. If you don’t know if you have a T-coil or whether yours is properly programmed, consult with your audiologist or hearing aid professional. If you don’t wear hearing aids, ask to use a Loop receiver to receive the sound.
