Shabbat Dinner at Or Chadash

This Friday, November 17th


We are thrilled to be able to come together once again as a community and share a Shabbat meal and celebrate our Legacy Circle with a special musical Shabbat Service following dinner. Shabbat is a great opportunity for us to slow down and appreciate the week. This relaxed, casual, come-as-you-are, Shabbat dinner offers an opportunity for our entire community - members and non-members alike - to see one another in person. Bring a friend or family member.


Hors d'oeuvres at 5:30 PM

Dinner at 6:00 PM

Services at 7:00PM

Oneg at 8:00 PM


Oneg desserts by Betsy!


Special performance by the Cantor Kathy

and the OC Choir!

Mazel Tov!




Mazel Tov to Krista and Matthew Greenblatt on the birth of Rivka Elizabeth on November 13th at 2:45 PM. Rivka was born weighing 7 pounds 13 oz. and was 19.5 inches in height. Rivka Elizabeth Greenblatt joins brother Meyer and sister Sunny in their Stockton, NJ home.

Chesed (Caring) Community

Mazel Tov to parents Matthew and Krista Greenblatt and siblings Meyer and Sunny on the birth of Rivka Elizabeth on November 13th.


To help the family through these early days at home with a new baby, the Or Chadash Chesed (Caring) Community hopes to be able to offer meals made (or purchased!) with love from members of our congregation.


If you can provide a meal for the family, please contact the Greenblatts to schedule a day to deliver to their home:

  • Matt: (612) 559-5795
  • Krista: (612) 306-3143
  • Address: 967 Sergeantsville Road, Stockton. 


As an alternative, we can arrange for someone else to deliver if you want to drop off at Or Chadash during Religious School on a Sunday.


The congregants of Or Chadash are the heart and soul of our caring community.


Please don’t hesitate to reach out and allow us to do the mitzvah of providing assistance when you need a helping hand, a prepared meal, a ride to the doctor, or just someone to listen without judgment.

If you would like to learn about opportunities to help our community - as your time allows - by preparing a meal, offering a ride, or visiting the sick, please join the Chesed email list by contacting Leslie Werstein Hann at chesed@orchadash-nj.org.
