Announcing the COS Gala: February 21, 2021 from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm!

COS will host its first virtual gala, an Evening of Entertainment, which you can attend in the comfort of your own home while dining with your Ohev Shalom friends in your own Zoom breakout room!

No babysitters needed this year!

In the challenging world of COVID-19, we will celebrate COS at an on-line gala with two exciting entertainers:

Tamir Goodman, dubbed by Sports Illustrated magazine as the “Jewish
Jordan,” will share his inspiring story of his journey as an American Israeli
basketball player!

Maccabeats will appear in concert for Ohev Shalom!

This special event gives us the opportunity to come together as a congregation for a fun and entertaining evening while supporting the successful
operation of the synagogue.

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.
