Name: Temple Sholom Celebrates Clergy's 18th Ordination Anniversaries with a Special Shabbat
Start: 2026-06-12T19:30:00-04:00
Location: Temple Sholom

Temple Sholom

Temple Sholom of Scotch Plains invites its congregation and the wider local community to a special Shabbat of Celebration honoring the 18th ordination anniversaries of Rabbi Emily Losben-Ostrov and Cantor Sharlein, both ordained in May 2008. In Jewish tradition, the number 18 — “chai” — represents life, blessing, and good fortune. That both clergy reach this milestone together makes the occasion doubly meaningful. 
 
Friday, June 12 at 7:30 pm celebrations begin with a Kabbalat Shabbat Service. Saturday, June 13 at 3:00 pm there will be a “Chai” Tea to continue the festivities.
To RSVP, share a tribute, or make a donation in their honor, visit the link below.

Cranford Community Center

The Rahway River Fly Tyers Group (the RRFT Group) was formed several years ago while it was associated with the Rahway River Trout Unlimited Chapter. During that time, it hosted the March Fly Tying Madness, a day during which 8-10 NJ TU chapters tied about 500 flies to donate to Project Healing Waters (for wounded veterans), Casting for Recovery (for breast cancer survivors) and the National TU Service organization. Over 2,500 flies were donated each year from 2013 thru 2020. The Group also sponsored Casting in the Park, where experienced fly fishers taught beginners how to cast a fly rod, and Fishing with a Friend, for new tyers to be shown how to fish their flies on local waters.While the TU chapter was disbanded in 2022, the RRFT Group continues to meet twice per month at the Cranford Community Center. These meetings are under the leadership of head tyer Frank (Jake) LaMotta, joined by equally advanced tyer and fly fisher Vinnie Caffarra.The goal of the Group is to teach fly tying to anyone interested in learning the art. We share proven techniques and fly patterns via free instruction in a relaxed and informal environment. There are no requirements to attend each meeting, and no membership or fees. Anyone under the age of 18, however, must be accompanied by an adult. Further, any requirements set forth by the Cranford Community Center (e.g., face mask protocol) must be adhered to, if necessary.
