Shalom
and hello everyone! I hope you are doing well.
Wow! What do we speak about first? There is so much going on at Ohav Sholom!
Last week we were privileged to hear from our special guest speaker from Israel,
Natan Nestel, who enlightened us about insidious and nefarious anti Israel activities happening across the United States and right under our noses in Manhattan.
This past wednesday evening was our Annual Shul Dinner and it was a major success! Thank you all who attended and contributed to this most worthy cause.
Given that the dinner was in June, we are well aware of the many conflicts people had and some friends and supporters of Ohav Sholom were unable to attend this important shul function.
However, the dinner isn't officially over! It isn't too late to make a contribution and make a tangible difference to help Ohav Sholom continue to serve the Upper West Side and beyond.
If you haven't yet made YOUR contribution, please go online to osnyc.org and do the right thing! And tiskel l'mitzvos!
