[quote=Anonymous]Anyone here belong to Ohr Kodesh? Do you have young kids in the Hebrew school there? We are shul shopping with intent to join a Conservative shul by next fall and send our preschooler to the Hebrew school when he enters kindergarten next year. We've attended Beth El High Holiday services for years on the "youth" ticket and love the services, but I've never felt like we fit in to the community that well, for whatever reason. This year we went to Ohr Kodesh for Rosh Hashanah and liked it. It seemed like a much homier, simpler, smaller place. The services weren't as flashy or innovative but they were fine. The people seemed down to earth.

They kept saying how the religious school has doubled in size and is now up to 50 kids. Which seems extraordinarily small to me, though that may not be a bad thing. And I know the curriculum is somewhat non-traditional; also maybe not a bad thing, given that every kid I've ever known has hated traditional Hebrew school. I would love to hear about people's experiences with the school, if you can share. Would also love any thoughts on the synagogue community, membership, anything to know, etc. (I saw a lot of folks our age -- mid-late 30s -- and a lot of people in their late 70s and older, but not so many in their 40s-60s, whom I assume would be the mainstays of the congregation in terms of monetary and community support. Thought that was interesting. Maybe just poor observational skills?)

Thanks in advance and shanah tovah![/quote]
