The Sanctuary
The sanctuary’s prayer space
is designed to express the sense of community that we value
in Ohev Shalom. Here we celebrate Shabbat with our Friday
evening and Shabbat morning services. Throughout the course of
the year, we celebrate our B'nai Mitzvah (Bar and Bat
Mitzvahs), baby namings, weddings, Consecration of students in
our Aleph Class, Confirmation of our tenth grade class,
our Adult B'nai Mitzvah and more. Our Pre-School and
Kindergarten children come to the Sanctuary for a special
Kabbalat Shabbat program every Friday, and our Religious School
Students fill the Sanctuary every Sunday morning for their
morning Tefillah - prayer service. Please feel welcome to join
us for our Shabbat services Friday evening and Shabbat morning, our Sunday morning Minyan and our weekday evening Minyan.

The Rothman Education Building
Children and education have long been at the center of
the values and commitments of Ohev Shalom. In 1997, Ohev
Shalom dedicated its new state-of-the-art Rothman Family
Education Building. The facility houses the synagogue’s
Pre-School, elementary Religious School, High School of
Jewish Studies and the Beyt Midrash, Adult Judaic
Learning Center. In addition to its 13 spacious and
bright classrooms, the school building houses the
Bennett Zion Feld Memorial Library and the Amy Rockower
Art Center, which is equipped with a kiln and other
supplies for the school's art program. On the second
floor is the spacious Youth Lounge. Ohev Shalom has long
been proud of its dynamic Youth Program which includes
three youth groups and is annually recognized for its
outstanding programming and excellence.

Kilstein
Auditorium
We recently renovated the Kilstein
Auditorium. It is mainly used as a reception room for Bar
and Bat Mitzvah celebrations, weddings, and other functions. The Kilstein can seat
up to 320 people at 60 round tables, and is a beautiful room
when fully set up. The Kilstein is adjacent to the Goldberg
Kitchen which is equipped with everything that a caterer needs
to throw a party: heavy duty convection ovens, an 8 burner
industrial gas stove, commercial dishwasher, walk-in
refrigerator, etc.
