Beyond our congregational and Jewish national interests, the Synagogue advocates humanitarian involvement in the broader community. Influencing society with kindness and compassion is part of the Jewish mission to serve as "a light unto the nations" (Isaiah 49:6). Appropriately, we call our social welfare activities the "Share the Light Program". It is both our privilege and sacred duty to gladden the hearts of the elderly, the mentally disabled, orphans, and anyone who needs a dose of companionship and love.

Finally, our synagogue must inspire the children, even the youngest ones, with the above values. Religious living, respecting differences, learning, Jewish unity, and love of Israel and humanity are values best communicated to our children at home and at school, but also learned and reinforced within a synagogue community. We welcome our youngest members into the synagogue and place their needs at the top of our programming agenda. We are confident that children who are enveloped by a positive, warm, and exciting Jewish community will grow up to value continued Jewish development for themselves and for their children

Ohel Leah Synagogue's deepest hope is that its values find adequate expression in its programs and that the Synagogue thereby helps its members lead lives suffused with Jewish meaning.
