Not Your Father's Men’s Club
Many of us remember when our fathers used to head off to their synagogue men’s club meeting each month with a deck of pinochle cards and a big, fat, stogie in their shirt pocket. Although some of us still might enjoy a good card game and a cigar now and again, today many of us yearn for something more. Temple Or Chadash has progressed to a point where we might be ready to start a modern "men's club" or Temple brotherhood organization. Read More >

One of our goals here in Huntington is to help to make sure that we never forget, or allow our community to forget, those who died during the Holocaust.  Rabbi Wucher teaches a course on the Holocaust at Marshall University and several members of our congregation are members of the WV Holocaust Education Commission, which recently developed curriculum to be used to train teachers to share the stories of Holocaust in an age appropriate manner.  Each year, B'nai B'rith hosts the Holocaust remembrance "They All Had Names" where the community is invited to join us as we read the names of Holocaust victims.  Our own Holocaust Memorial serves as the backdrop for this event.

Or Chadash Temple Youth (called "OCTY") welcomes all 8th-12th graders to join in the fun! We have several activities ranging from "Lounge Nites," bowling, social action activities, trips, and special events. Last year we went to New York City to visit the Museum of Jewish Heritage, a 3-D IMAX movie, and out to dinner. We also helped out at the Flemington Food Pantry, ran the games at the Purim Carnival, sponsored a Family Shabbat dinner and a creative service, and had a swim party. Read More >

JOCTY is a fantastic way for children in grades 5-7 to make friends and have fun. The group meets monthly either at the Temple or off-site for activities, such as movie night, roller skating, game night and others.
