Programs
The OJC maintains a growing nursery school, a vibrant Religious School, and Na’aseh, a unique, award-winning program for high school students. Youth participate in well-established groups from Ruach (4th and 5th grade) to Kadima (6th – 8th grade) and USY (9th – 12th). Congregants participate in an active Sisterhood and Men's Club, and HAZAK for our older adults. Our multi-generational programming creates a true sense of family.
Our Israeli Affairs and Strategic Planning groups are also very committed to the OJC community, Israel and the community at large.
Join The Sisterhood
Sisterhood / Religious School Chai Style Fashion Show 2008 |
We are all connected! Individuals are not separate from one another or from the world. Everything we do is somehow connected to someone and something else. In Jewish terms, we say that ‘all Israel is responsible for one another’ and that is way members of the Jewish community constantly look out for the welfare of their Jewish neighbors, near and far. OJC Sisterhood is here to give you another opportunity to be connected, to give and receive, to touch someone and be touched by the thoughtfulness of someone else.
There is always something wonderfully refreshing about this time of year – school is back in session, the holidays are upon us and we have the time to reflect back and look forward to the coming Jewish New Year 5768. It is time of new beginnings and an exciting new year for our congregants and their families as well as our sisters in Sisterhood. We look forward to a year filled with friendship, learning, spiritual enlightenment, and fun. We look forward to giving each women in our OJC community an opportunity to laugh, grow, share her talents, and enjoy the company of her fellow women.

Sukkah Palooza 2007 |
Come join us this year. The carnival, the football pool, various breakfasts, and the Super Bowl party are all things we have to look forward to ! This year, the Men’s Club has changed, with a blend of new and returning members.
However, in order for the Men’s Club to fulfill its mission we need help from you. We need ideas for events that you would like to attend individually, with your friends or as a family. Please lend your support so that we can create programs that everyone will support.
Stay tuned for many upcoming and exciting events.
We look forward to seeing you this year.
