Or Shalom Sisterhood is delighted to announce that you can sponsor an Oneg for any celebration you wish! Friday night and/or Saturday

morning. The Sisterhood will be happy to purchase it and set it up, we only want you to join us and

celebrate! Call Julie Miller at (267) 886-9171 or email Julie at [email protected]

Do you know Unaffiliated Jews in Chester County, Montgomery County

and Delaware County?

Celebrate with an Oneg

Do you have Jewish friends or acquaintances who live in Chester County, Montgomery County and Delaware County who are not already members of a synagogue? If you do, why not invite them to one of the upcoming events at Or Shalom, for example our next Friday night dinner? They may have a good time and decide to come back. They may have such a good time that they decide to become members themselves. According to a recent survey by the Jewish Federation, there are many, many unaffiliated Jews in Chester county. We’d love to contact them, but don’t know who they are. You can help. Todah rabah!


The President’s Column

Do we have a complete list of

your Yahrzeits? We send out a reminder letter each month. If

you don’t get one, we don’t have your Yahrzeit records up to date. Email the office with the name, relationship to member, and civ-

il date including year and we will add it

to our records.

Dear Congregants, While we usually have a

minyan during Sabbath services, there are times we miss.

It is especially disheartening when we miss and someone is

here to say kaddish. If you intend to

celebrate a Yahrzeit, please inform Rabbi Jacob and he will make telephone calls to ensure there. It would also be helpful if

you could bring members of your family or friends.

Thank you

Rabbi Jacob

I am very pleased to announce a new slate of officers and board members at Congregation Or Shalom for the coming year. My name is Alan Messing and I will be President. I have been a member of Or Shalom for the past six years and have had involvement with several synagogues over my adult life. There is truly no business like shul business. I am new to the Or Shalom board so I will be learning from my friends here about what is working well and the issues and challenges we face. I also want to hear from you as to how we can make Or Shalom a better center of your spiritual life. I want to give a special Thank You to Stuart D. Lurie who has been an outstanding President for the past three years. He has given so much of himself and his expertise to making Or Shalom an intimate, welcoming home where we can worship, learn and have some fun. Stuart will continue to be active on the Board of Directors. We are looking forward to an exciting 5777. One big change at Or Shalom will be the combining of our Hebrew School with Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid in Broomall, PA (CBENT). This partnership will give both synagogues a larger student body to work with and give our children a broader and more in depth Jewish edu-cation. By the time you read this the details of the coming school year should be available to everyone. Keeping our Congregation moving forward and growing requires dedication

and strong efforts from our members. We have a great nucleus of active

participants but we can always use anyone willing to lend a hand. We all

have busy lives but if we can each spend a little time working on a

committee or coming to services we will have a more robust congregation

and the personal fulfillment and satisfaction of performing a mitzvah. Please

join me to help make coming to Or Shalom an even greater experience and

please welcome our new officers and board members for the fiscal year July

1, 2016 – June 30, 2017.

New Leadership at Or Shalom

Officers: President: Alan Messing Vice Presidents: Brenda Belkin Andy Levin Treasurer: Alan Daroff Secretary: Larry Bilker

Board Members: Michael Chonoles Scott Markovitz Ellen Gross Steve Meyer Rabbi Jacob Rosner Barry Morrow Laurie Katz Stella Pabon Murray Klug Jerry Satlow Stuart D. Lurie Jeff Mand


Mitzvah of the Month Rabbi Jacob Rosner

The combining of our Sunday school with that of CBENT brings a sense of excitement and renewal to our education program. No longer will our kids sit in classrooms with 2 or three kids. They will now have 2 education directors, 2 rabbis and the school boards of 2 synagogues sharing their expertise, learning and experience to create the best possible learning experience for our youngsters. We will continue to be independent on Tuesday assuring that we will maintain our identity as a synagogue, and that our youngsters and their parents will maintain their loyalty for Or Shalom. At the same time it is always a positive when our children are exposed to more Jewish children their own age. Hopefully many friendships will result. Many thanks are due to the synagogue presidents, the board members and others who worked many hours during numerous meetings to iron out the many issues that arose during the negotiations for the merger. The goal of creating 2 totally equal partners was met. Traditional Jews recite the shema twice daily. Each day we are reminded to teach the words of Torah to our children. I pray that the decision made will strengthen our commitment to that mitzvah.


From the Education Director Na’ama Yarden

A new school year is starting soon and this time we have a big change to share with you. Here is the press release to the local newspaper: Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid and Congregation Or Shalom to Blend Sunday Religious School Programs After months of collaboration, Congregation Or Shalom in Berwyn and Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid in Broomall are pleased to announce they have created a partnership on Sunday mornings, enabling their religious school students to learn together. This exciting new collaboration between the William Sampson Religious School at Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid and the Or Shalom Religious School will be called, “Or Tamid” – The Eternal Light. The two synagogues believe this is a wonderful opportunity to create a more enriched learning environment for the students. The blending of the Sunday programs will result in larger class sizes and additional social opportu-nities for the students. Midweek programs will remain at the respective synagogues, operating under their existing names, in order to keep students connected to their home communities. The community is invited to the opening day of religious school on Sunday, September 11th from 9am to 12 noon at Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid, immediately followed by a barbecue for the entire family, complete with a moon bounce. To enroll your children or for more information, please contact Education Directors – Na’ama Yarden at [email protected] or Ellen Glassman at [email protected] Both communities are looking forward to strengthening their educational programs together and invite you to join them. “Two Are Better Than One, Because They Have A Good Reward For Their Toil” Kohelet – Ecclesiates 4:9-12 What does it mean for us? * On Tuesdays (or other midweek days) we will still have Religious school at Or shalom just for our students. * On the weekends (Saturday or Sunday) we will rotate the schools between the two congregations, every two months, starting at CBENT. * This new initiative is a trial for this year and as the year goes, we will decide if we would like to continue it after this year. * On the weekends when we have the whole joint school at Or Shalom, we will need all the rooms in the building, including the library and the Social Hall. I am asking our community to be patient and to welcome CBENT school community to our building. * As any new change, we will be working hard through out the year to make all needed adjustments. Please feel free to address us with any concern, question or idea. * If you know of any family, who is looking for a school for their kids, please let us know. Although the numbers this year will grow, thanks to the joint program, we still would love to increase our student body. I wish everyone a wonderful new school year with a successful transition to our new joint program with CBENT.

Hello, I hope you all had a wonderful summer! I was lucky enough to take separate trips with each of my three children, plus an awesome family trip, so it was a very nice summer for me. I have a wonderful Sisterhood announcement-- Laurie Katz is going to be our new Sisterhood President!! Not only does she read Torah and chant Haftorah beautifully, you can often see her preparing kiddush lunch in the kitchen. I am so lucky to have such a capable, remarkable and lovely person taking over. We will be co-presidents until the spring when she will become the president. We have a calendar of events for the year (next page). Please take a look and write the dates on your calendar. If you have a conflict for an event you would really like to attend, let me or Laurie know. If others have a conflict as well, we will do our best to change the date when pos-sible.
