2 Eliyahu Kaufman Rabbi (732) Eliezer Kaminetzky Rabbi Emeritus (732) Jay Dobin President (732) Congregation Ohav Emeth 415 Raritan Avenue or P.O. Box 1533 Highland Park, NJ (732) Renovation Update January 11, 2018 By Norman Heyden בס "ד Although we have made tremendous progress, Renovation work still remains, and if you have not as yet contributed, it is definitely not too late. Many renovation dedication opportunities are still available, including benches for the main shul at $1800 each. Please contact Michael Garber or Norman Heyden for details. We need everyone s support! In the past week: B H, a major milestone in the history of Ohav Emeth and in this major renovation effort will be achieved next week, IY H, with the delivery and installation of the new benches and furniture. They will be delivered this coming Monday morning, January 14 starting at 7 am, and will take approximately four days to be installed. All of the benches (unassembled) and furniture will be delivered in one truck. The New Holland installation crew expects to work each day from 7 am to about 8 pm. Everything (other than the Aron Kodesh and the front and center bimas) will be removed from the room before the installers arrive on Monday. Parking information for Monday morning appears elsewhere in this bulletin. The two sliding front doors and adjacent panels on the front of the Aron Kodesh in the main shul were removed and refinished. The panels have been reinstalled. The two sliding doors, with new handles, will be reinstalled early next week. The side doors on the Aron Kodesh will also be installed next week. The lettering and stained glass windows are expected to be delivered and installed within the next two to four weeks. A new sheet of tempered glass was placed on the shulchan in the beis medrash, replacing a scratched piece of plexiglass. A wood bar was placed on the floor of the Aron Kodesh in the beis medrash to better support the Sifrei Torah. All of the old benches were removed, and the new carpeting has been installed. Chairs will be used in the main shul this Shabbos. The carpeting looks great! A new wall-mounted magazine rack was installed in the hallway adjacent to the tallis rack. Please see page 4 of this bulletin for important information regarding the usage of the new benches.
