Welcome to Our Temple
According to Jewish tradition, each generation builds upon the accomplishments of those who came before them. Today, Temple Har Shalom is a dynamic center of Jewish religious, educational, cultural and social activities drawing members from more than 14 different towns within Somerset, Union and Morris Counties. Our vision is to honor our past, yet serve as a relevant and sacred Congregation in the 21st Century. We welcome your presence as we seek to: increase your joys; enhance and expand your knowledge; broaden your engagement in helping to heal our world; and lessen the burdens of life’s challenges through a Jewish lens.
The Temple is open to serve everyone during this time of COVID-19. Our staff is working remotely, so we ask that you reach us by phone or email instead of stopping by the Temple. We are hard at work planning JSchool, Machon our 50th Anniversary programs, and more. All pertinent information will be communicated to our community via email and available on our website
If you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed about the ongoing situation, please contact Rabbi Musnitsky or Cantor Berman.
Murray Howard
The Temple Har Shalom community mourns the loss of one of our founding members and our first Temple President, Murray Lawrence Howard, z’l. In 1970, Murray and his wife Barbara saw the need for Jewish education and social connections in the Warren area. They came together with four other local families to start the Mountain Jewish Community Center, which became Temple Har Shalom. Murray and Barbara have remained active members of the Temple. Murray was always ready to give a toast, provide words of encouragement, and discretely provide assistance to those in need. Murray brought more light, positivity, joy, and laughter to the world. May his memory be a blessing.
