VOLUNTEER TO READ TORAH/HAFTARAH ON SHABBAT & HOLIDAYS

We hope you had a wonderful Chanukah and peaceful end of year celebrations. As we begin 2025, we are thrilled to provide you with an update on our search for a Rabbi/Education Director.


As we shared with you in November, we are currently reviewing the applications of Rabbinical candidates through the Rabbinical Assembly, the Conservative movement’s organization representing rabbis. We have invited two candidates to visit the OJC next week. During each candidate’s visit, they will observe Kulanu, have dinner with our Rabbis, teach a short adult education class, and interview in person with our search committee. Click here to keep reading.

THIS WEEKEND

Join families with young children for an informal and fun Saturday evening. We will say goodbye to Shabbat with all of our senses with a beautiful Havdallah service, the children will settle in to watch a Disney movie while the grownups hangout, and everyone will enjoy a lite dinner before heading home for bedtime.
