Do you like to garden?

If so, Ohev is forming a gardening committee to help beautify our outdoor space. Contact Barbara Glickman [email protected] for more information.



If you were unable to attend one of our recent in-person or Zoom town halls, please take a few minutes to complete and submit the following short survey. The survey duplicates the questions asked at the town halls. Your input is vital to the process of selecting our future Rabbi so make sure your voice is heard.

Thank you,

Your Rabbi Search Committee



PRIDE SHABBAT, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 2023

This year, and really, for every day in the year, Ohev is pleased to honor and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community at our annual Pride Shabbat. This year it falls on the weekend of Philadelphia Pride, Friday, June 2nd at 6 pm. Click here to RSVP. This special evening is not only for those who are connected or identify with the community, but it opens up a chance for everyone at Ohev who welcomes and embraces all humans and the rights we all strive for to share in Shabbat together.

 

Also, Cantor is inviting the congregation to walk with her and her family in the Pride March/Parade on Sunday, June 4th, from 10:30 am-12 pm, beginning at the north end of Independence Mall in front of the Constitution Center at 5th and Arch Streets.

The Ohev meeting spot will be at 10 am at the Weitzman Jewish History Museum, and we'll walk over as a group at 10:20 am to the National Constitution Center, where the March will begin at 10:30 am.

Make a sign, dress expressively, and let's SHOW Philly that Ohev Shalom of Bucks County speaks and acts with ahavah, love.
