Oneg Schedule

The Oneg scheduling for the entire 2023-2024 is now complete. We have done our best to honor your requests, and have assigned families as best we could.

PLEASE look over the dates you have been assigned, and put them on your calendar. If you have a conflict that you know about already, please reach out quickly, and we can try to find someone to switch dates.

If a conflict arises later in the year, it is the member's responsibility to find someone to switch dates with. You can reach out to the oneg committee for a list of names/contacts of other members who would like to switch.

All correspondence should be directed to oneg@congregationshalom.org

And Don't Forget...

Grocery Cards

Grocery cards are available for Hannaford, and Stop&Shop, and the Temple earns a 6% profit. This leads to thousands of dollars for our programs, with no extra out-of-pocket money from you. Contact Toby Sedgwick,

giftcards@congregationshalom.org to sign up for the monthly program, or to just get a few cards when you are doing a lot of shopping, and then start giving back to Congregation Shalom while you fill your fridge. You can have grocery cards sent to college students too!

Order Bookplates for our High Holiday Prayerbooks

We are always pleased to accept bookplate orders at any time of the year. One set of bookplates costs $36.00. Since there are 2 bookplates, you do not have to have the same name on both plates. Use this LINK to obtain the order form. Please send the completed form and check (addressed to Congregation Shalom) to Laura Rodman at 35 Digital Drive # 201, Nashua, NH 03062.

This is a beautiful way to remember lifecycle events.

Caring Committee

The Caring Committee is always available to provide meals or transportation to those members and families who need a little help. Please don't hesitate to email Katie Wolman at caringchair@congregationshalom.org or Rabbi Perry at rabbi@congregationshalom.org, or feel free to call Katie at home.

Youth Scholarships

Throughout the year, there are many enriching Jewish experiences available to our youth through our synagogue or the community.These include, but aren't limited to, summer camps and trips to Washington, New York, and Israel. Fortunately, there is some scholarship money available through the temple to those families in need of financial assistance for these opportunities. Please contact Margie Berenson at

scholarship@congregationshalom.org with any questions and/or for an application form.
