Torah Scribe Project
June 9th & 10th and
February 16th & 17th
Congregation Or Chadash, as part of our Sanctuary improvement plans, will be purchasing a long needed new Torah. We have the once in the lifetime opportunity to participate in the writing of this sacred object. We have contracted with a scribe who will come to Or Chadash to help our member households write individual letters in the Torah. Learn more about writing a Torah! Help make our new Torah by fulfilling the 613th commandment! Please take advantage! The scribe will be here June 9 & 10, 2013 and February 16 & 17, 2014 with lots of time slots to choose. Please click here to sign up http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545A4AB2B0-orchadash. "Torah 5773" is the access code.

Congregation Or Chadash Singers
AHH... Spring is in the air, baseball season is starting up, pollen is starting to make us sneeze, and the first thing everyone is thinking about is...
High Holy Days Choir Rehearsal!
O.K., maybe not, but this year the High Holy days occur early in the solar calendar, around Labor Day...so we need to get cracking on rehearsals and will be starting in mid-July!
Contact Ron Isaacson or Stephanie Weishaar if you are interested in joining!
