Members act as coordinators to make funeral arrangements, relieving families of the stress of doing so on their own. Those who have participated find tremendous spiritual satisfaction in knowing they are both helping to preserve a centuries-old tradition and also providing an invaluable service to fellow members. Our Jewish Library Ohr Kodesh members are fortunate to have access to a superb library of Jewish life and history. The Salzberg Family Library at Ohr Kodesh Congregation currently contains approximately 2,000 books. The collection is expanding to 2,500 books with a video and CD lending section to be administered in conjunction with the religious school.
Members are welcome to borrow materials for a lending period of three weeks.
Members are encouraged to bring suggestions for materials to be acquired or new services to the librarian. At Ohr Kodesh, we know that the decision of which synagogue to join is often a difficult one. Not only do we do everything to encourage prospective members choose Ohr Kodesh, we want them to be comfortable with their choice for years to come. New members immediately experience the warmth and openness of the Ohr Kodesh family. A special Welcome Pack is delivered to all new members as is an invitation to enjoy a Shabbat dinner with another Ohr Kodesh family.
