Congregation Ohav Emeth is located in the geographic center of the Highland Park / Edison observant community in New Jersey. Our membership spans the range of halacha-committed Jews, with an attitude of achdut (unity) and religious tolerance. We share a love for Medinat Yisrael and a serious commitment to Torah study for every age and gender and at every level. We have a multitude of ongoing educational and social programs as well as frequent special events.

Dedication Opportunity

There are a number of benches in the Main Shul in both the men’s and women’s sections that have not yet been dedicated and are available at a dedication amount of $1800 per bench. Installment payments are acceptable. If you have not as yet contributed to the renovations and/or have a simcha or other occasion to memorialize please consider this opportunity. Each bench will be recognized with a “Dedicated by .....” plaque on the end of the bench, and with a more detailed plaque with dedication wording of your choosing in the hallway on the beautiful new main dedication board currently under production.

A message from the Safety & Security Committee

 ♦  Door Monitors for the Yamim Noraim . ♦

Please contact Jonathan Gotlib, jgotlib@mgcc.cc, (908) 380-5122 to volunteer as door monitors during the Yamim Noraim. We have hired HP Police for these days, but we need to help them identify members and guests and greet them, as well as new- comers. As a reminder, the glass doors off the parking lot are for EXIT ONLY and should not be propped open or used to allow people to enter the building.

Thank you, Security Committee

BUILDING FUND PUSHKAHS

Ohav Emeth has an annual tradition of collecting Building Fund Pushkah money on the first night of Selichot.

This year, the first night of Selichot will be on Saturday evening (early Sunday morning) September 22nd. Please bring your full or nearly full Building Fund Pushkahs to Selichot services and receive a new one in return. If you cannot make it to shul at this time, please give your pushkah to Murray Katz or the shul office or call Murray at 732-985-7348 to make special arrangements.

Everyone is invited to participate in this mitzvah. Please pick up an empty pushkah at Selichot services or request one from Murray or the shul office.

If you do not have a pushka, please consider getting one.

All monies go towards the beautification and repair of the shul.
