After 16 years of dedication to Oheb Shalom, Linda Griffler is retiring from her Executive Director role. In her honor, the Griffler Greening Fund has been established, a cause near and dear to her heart, one which will help fulfill the biblical commandment known as bal tashchit, not to destroy the environment. This Fund will help Oheb become more environmentally friendly and reduce its carbon footprint. Some of the already planned and/or contemplated activities would be making energy efficient upgrades to the HVAC systems, make a portion of the roof green, use an energy efficient freezer and dishwasher, reduce the use of plastic products, compost, purchase only eco-friendly cleaning supplies, recycle, and use smart thermostats, to name a few. 

Please join us in thanking Linda for her dedication and to wish her well in her next chapter. By purchasing an ad in the journal, you will create a memory for Linda and contribute to the Griffler Greening Fund.
