Congregation Olam Tikvah

Sewing Machines for Afghan Families, donate September 11-17 in the OT office. The Afghan Refugees have been here for almost a whole year now and they are settling into their circumstances. There is an ongoing effort to collect used sewing machines so that the women can create the modest clothing they favor and save money as well. We are looking for gently used sewing machines which may not be getting much use in your house anymore. The used machines need to be in working order - the refugees do not have the ability to get them repaired. If you have a usable machine, please email Martha Hill and bring it to the Olam Tikvah office. If you do not own a sewing machine but would still like to help out, we are also collecting monetary donations for the Afghan Outreach fund to purchase new machines.

Sunday morning Shacharit

Each Sunday at 12:30pm, from May-October, a group of volunteer gleaners from Olam Tikvah meets at the West End Farmers’ Market at Cameron Station (4800 Brenman Park Dr, in Alexandria) to pack up fresh produce and deliver it to residents of local shelters. It's impossible to know exactly how many thousands of pounds of food we deliver each year to people who don’t often have access to fresh fruits and vegetables, but it is a lot. It's hard to think of a more important mitzvah than providing food to people who are without. Gleaners usually commit to gleaning once or twice a month. Please consider volunteering for this rewarding mitzvah. If you want to become a gleaner or learn more, contact Marc Berman at breitmarc@yahoo.com.

Our Shabbat service is open to everyone. Come in-person or join us via livestream!

Shabbat mornings offer a wealth of worship and learning opportunities for all ages. We hold one congregational service, beginning at 9:30am. Men and women of all ages - from age 13 through grandparents - lead portions of the service, receive aliyot, and read Torah. It's not unusual for younger children, below b'nei mitzvah age, to lead the chanting of specific prayers. Youth childcare and services begin in our youth wing at 10:00am for ages 18 months-6th grade. The congregation always enjoys lunch together following the service.

Saturdays beginning at 10:00am, children ages 18 months-6th grade may be dropped off in the youth wing for childcare, followed by youth services. Details at https://www.olamtikvah.org/services#youth-shabbat
