Chag Pesach Sameach! Have a peaceful and joyous Passover one and all… This is one of the first times in my recent memory that all three of the Abrahamic religions are celebrating holidays, Ramadan, Good Friday and Easter, and of course Passover. So no matter which you’re celebrating, have a safe, joyous, and peaceful holiday….

Have you seen all of the new content yet? It’s not just the look of this site, but whole new sections, tons of new content, and a lot more to come, and a few more surprises are still yet to come to celebrate the anniversary of the S.O.S. website. This whole month will be a…
So much added, more to come!
A ton of aesthetics, navigation, and content has been added/changed over the past several days and a lot more content is on the way still. This site has been revamped, retooled, and rekindled as it continues to grow and be worked on to celebrate its first anniversary. This has been a big part of my…
Major update coming!!!
A major update is coming in April to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the existence of this website, and so many updates are coming along with it!

My B’nai Mitzvah
You’ve read correctly, our Synagogue (Congregation Rodeph Shalom) has a B’nai Mitzvah program for adults and it begins March 2nd and runs through a year, culminating in our leading a Saturday Shabbat service. We asked our sponsoring Rabbi and he said we should definitely go through it as a part of our Jewish life…
