Shabbat Shalom

We will be hosting minyanim on Shabbat morning at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00 am. There will be no youth groups this Shabbat.

We pray for health and good news in the days ahead and thank you in advance for adhering to the updated mask guidelines.

Join us this Wednesday evening for our Bar Ilan virtual lecture with Nadav Kidron, CEO of Oramed - "Israeli Inventions That Changed the World." Sign up using the link below in the Events section.

Consider joining Diane and me on our Agudath Sholom Journey to Israel from July 3rd to July 14th. God willing, Israel will open up more fully in the season ahead. Any reservation now is fully refundable. If you have an interest, see the link below in the Events section.

We are blessed with many wonderful opportunities at Agudath Sholom and appreciate everyone coming together to make our shul and community such a special place. God willing we will share more good news in the weeks ahead.

Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Daniel Cohen

  • Everyone, regardless of vaccination status, is required to wear a mask. Masks with filters are not acceptable.
  • During kiddushim, masks must be worn unless you are eating.
  • We will continue to have a separate dessert table for children. Children are not permitted to serve themselves from the food table.

Parents: Please be mindful not to serve children food or drinks in the Sanctuary during davening and to ensure they do not enter the shul unsupervised following davening. Thank you in advance.
