Dear Members of Or Chadash:
As the bright greens of summer fade to the soft colors of autumn, and the excitement of the High Holy Days, Sukkot and Simchat Torah has passed, we return to the gentle flow of the calendar year.
This Shabbat we are very excited to be welcoming guitarist and song leader, Sam Lynn, a 15 year old talent from New Jersey. Sam will be leading us in song this Shabbat. I hope you will join us for this special service.
Shalom,
Rabbi Joseph M. Forman

A message from Robin Wishnie, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties...
Hello Everyone,
We have slammed into the 2018 hurricane season.
When disaster first strikes, immediate aid is needed to help communities get back on their feet. Afterwards, rebuilding and strengthening resilience can take years.
But, just as with Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, Jewish Federations are there-helping make sure that the urgent needs of the most severely impacted are met.
We have opened a fund for victims of Hurricane Michael, as we have done for previous hurricanes. Please help these hurricane victims today.
