About the Nonprofit
Visit Our Website
Congregation Ohav Sholom of Merrick proudly serves Nassau County through adult education, youth enrichment, and community services. Our Bikur Cholim (literally, “caring for the sick") program provides food donations, toy donations to ill or underprivileged children, elderly outreach and entertainment programs, blood drives, and many other causes that benefit and inspire the entire community.
The congregation sustains these programs through private contributions, volunteers, and corporate sponsorships. One of our most effective fundraisers is our Annual Journal Dinner, supported by raffle donations and ads from valued businesses like yours.
This year is extremely special, as we will be honoring our beloved Rabbi Ira Ebbin and his wife Chevi Ebbin for their 12 years of devotion and service to our community. With his religious inspiration and guidance, Rabbi Ebbin has been involved in everything we do at Ohav, and never more so than during the Covid-19 pandemic. Chevi continues to be an ongoing partner with the Rabbi for our community, through her committee volunteer work and graciously opening their home for Shabbat and holidays.
