OHEL a Guest at Hamptons Synagogue

Speakers provide advice and inspiration! 

On the Shabbos of August 9, Shabbos Nachamu, OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services was invited to the Hamptons Synagogue for a Shabbos of connection, growth, and friendship.

Hindie Klein, PsyD, OHEL’s Director of Clinical Projects, spoke to the congregants on Shabbos afternoon, about “Connecting with Family in the Age of Selfies, Twitter and Facebook. “ Over 150 shul members attended, and Dr. Klein provided strategies for building successful connections with loved ones. 

Motzei Shabbos was filled with an inspiring evening kumsitz of 250 people, complete with a campfire sing-a-long with the Macabeats, and the Hampton synagogue’s very own Cantor Izchak Haimov accompanying on the guitar.

OHEL prepared a lavish breakfast Sunday morning for the Shul congregants, at which renowned speaker Charlie Harary spoke to the enthralled crowd. He enumerated the amazing work that OHEL does, and inspired all those that attended.

Harvey and Gloria Kaylie, the founders of Camp Kaylie, were honored and moved by the Hampton synagogue’s community support, of which they are esteemed members. $30,000 was raised for OHEL from the morning breakfast presentation.

Since 1969, OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services has served as a dependable haven of individual and family support, helping people of all ages effectively manage disability, surmount everyday challenges, heal from trauma, and manage with strength and dignity during times of crises
