Dear Members of Or Chadash:
Each week Shabbat arrives and most of us are familiar with the traditional blessings of candles, wine, and the challah. But Shabbat has many traditions associated with it. Do you know your cholent from your blech?
Join me this Friday for a fun, interactive service and program on Everything you Always Wanted to Know About Shabbat But Were Afraid to Ask.
Below is a crossword puzzle to encourage you to begin thinking about Shabbat. Everyone who brings a completed crossword puzzle to Shabbat services that night will receive a homemade challah baked by Betsy Zalaznick. To get you started, the answer to 2 Down is Shabbat Shalom.
Shalom,
Rabbi Joseph M. Forman

"
The Last Laugh" is a feature documentary about humor and the Holocaust, examining whether it is ever acceptable to use humor in connection with a tragedy of that scale, and the implications for other seemingly off-limits topics in a society that prizes free speech.
When: Friday, November 9th at 7 PM
What: Join us for the blessings over candles, kiddush, and challah followed by a screening and discussion of this bold film.

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.
