Congregation Ohr Shalom (The Summit JCC)

Congregation Ohr Shalom (The Summit JCC) is an egalitarian, progressive synagogue in the conservative religious movement, located in the heart of Summit, New Jersey. The JCC’s Jewish Learning Center (JLC) supports high-quality Jewish learning. We engage our students’ ages 5 to 18 in conversations that are critical for children’s’ intellectual and emotional growth. We engage our students through a strong sense of commitment to cultivate a deep connection for Hebrew language, Jewish culture, Jewish heritage, encouraging wonder and engaging their spirit with hands-on learning, Hebrew prayer, Jewish music, and stories deeply rooted in our heritage. Students of all backgrounds, cultures, and gender identities are welcome. The JLC serves on average 80 students a year.
