This Sunday
Walk and Nosh

|
Dear Members of Or Chadash,
This Sunday, October 17th please join Or Chadash for a WALK AND NOSH. This is a family-friendly event open to all ages and abilities.
We will be meeting by the tow-path at Prallsville Mills in Stockton on Route 29 just north of the town at 9:30 AM (where parking is readily available) and walking to Bridge street, over the Delaware River and south along the canal tow-path, and then returning to the Stockton Farm Market by 10:45 AM.
The walk is flat and should be about two miles long. If it rains, we will be gathering at the Stockton Market at 10:45 AM for a nosh at the Borscht Belt. If NY-style deli is not your preference, the Stockton Market has many options for dining, including pizza, dumplings, Mexican and Peruvian, as well as gourmet chocolates, artisan breads and a plethora of delicious food. We suggest ordering your food in advance using the Toast app.
The Borscht Belt can get busy, and getting your order in advance is a great way to avoid the line.
Please RSVP to Betsy Zalaznick (bzalaznick@gmail.com) to let us know to expect you. We look forward to this fun outdoor event to see one another and experience a beautiful autumn walk and enjoy some delicious food together.
Shalom,
- Rabbi Joseph Forman

OR CHADASH TEMPLE YOUTH GROUP | |
|
Reaching for the stars-? Or at least the top of those tall walls.... Members of OCTY had a great time at Gravity Vault on Sunday. They fueled up on pizza in the parking lot beforehand, and then hit the walls for Intro to Rock Climbing. They cheered each other on and felt proud of their climbing accomplishments!
Or Chadash is so happy to see our teens getting together like this! 8th to 12th graders are all welcome, and we'd love to have everyone join in as much as possible!
Next up:
Save the date! Sunday, October 17
OCTY joins with all of the Or Chadash community
Meet in Stockton for a walk and visit to The Borscht Belt Delicatessen in the Stockton Farm Market. Timing TBD
Save the Dates! October 23 and October 24
Working on a trip to Schaefer Farms for Farm of Horrors and/or a fall-themed get-together. Details soon!
OCTY co-presidents: Jordyn Mosowitz and Noah Metelitsa
We always welcome all of our 8th to 12th graders to all OCTY events. Don't be shy! This is a very welcoming and friendly group!

Join us for our call-in days to the U.S. Senate and White House from November 8 – 11! We are calling on senators and President Biden to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and to reform the filibuster which is being used to prevent the Senate from even debating legislation protecting Americans’ civil rights. If we are to make progress on the issues we care about, we must have a democracy that responds to the needs and priorities of voters, so it is critical that we call our senators and President Biden to pass these critical bills and protect our democracy.
We are most effective when we show up together to call on our legislators to act. Just as we heed the call of the shofar, we will continue heeding the call of our Reform Jewish values to work toward racial justice. Sign up and commit to make calls today!

RAC-NJ Update
This year is a gubernatorial election year for New Jersey! In addition, all 120 seats in the New Jersey General Assembly and the New Jersey State Senate are on the ballot.
Did you know that in New Jersey’s most recent gubernatorial election (2017), only 39% of registered New Jersey voters cast a ballot? Together, RAC-NJ congregations are working to double our impact by educating voters, sponsoring candidate forums, and ensuring that New Jersey voters are aware of the continued modernization of New Jersey’s election laws and systems.
This year, New Jersey voters have three ways to vote. We can:
- Vote by mail
- New! - Vote early in person on voting machines (Sat., Oct. 23 – Sun., Oct. 31)
- Vote at your designated polling place on Election Day (Tues., Nov. 2).
Ensure that your voice is heard and your vote is counted. For more details, please visit New Jersey’s voter information portal.

Sign Up to Be a Poll Worker
Participate in our democracy and earn some extra money! New Jersey is actively seeking residents to serve as poll workers for the upcoming General Election.
Become a poll worker for the November 2nd Election Day and for the new in-person Early Voting, opening on October 23rd.
Governor Murphy signed an Executive Order increasing the pay for poll workers to $300 for Election Day and to $21.44 per hour for in-person Early Voting.
To sign up to be a poll worker, visit the Division of Elections’ "Become a Poll Worker” page (pollworker.nj.gov). You can apply to be a poll worker if you are a U.S. citizen and New Jersey resident, at least 16 years of age, and are not running as a candidate in this election
