About Us

The technological progress of recent years and the rapid development of the Internet has led to the emergence of a new sports discipline – eSports. And many players have a reasonable question – where can I put on eSports.

 

Many bookmakers have already gone online and closed their offline offices offline. You can learn more about such bookmakers at https://esportzbet.com/. New promotions and directions are constantly appearing. However, despite this, many offices are prone to traditionalism and rarely pay attention to e-sports.

First of all, bets on eSports events are associated with the largest online games that can be played online. This is the well-known StarCraft 2, Dota 2, League of Legends (LoL), Counter Strike, Quake. You can bet on tank collisions in the game World of Tanks. There are offers for all major tournaments where professional gamers compete, as well as for single meetings of leading e-sports teams.
However, in comparison with traditional sports, e-sports is very young, does not have popularity among people outside the Internet and is included in the lines of only a limited number of bookmakers.

A Welcome Letter From the Rabbi

Welcome to our Shul!  We are a synagogue with a treasured history on the Upper West Side.  Congregation Ohav Sholom was founded in 1940 by a group of German Jews fleeing the horrors of Nazi Germany. Establishing a shul was a priority to these heroic Jews, and their legacy of Jewish identity and pride is alive and well today. In the last 75 years Ohav Sholom has grown into a beloved staple of the Upper West Side, having welcomed thousands of Jews from across the globe to participate in our warm services and study Torah in our beautiful Bais Medrash.

Our quaint and charming building provides a spiritual retreat from the noise and chaos of the big city. At Ohav Sholom, we strive to make everyone feel like one of the family while offering easy-to-follow prayer services. Our Shul is lead by self-motivated men and women who wish to spread the wonder of Torah and raise Jewish awareness among the Upper West Side community.

In addition to our regular prayer services, Daf Hayomi and Torah shiurim, we also offer a delicious weekly Kiddush, Shabbos morning children’s programs, regular singles events, Friday night dinners featuring engaging guest speakers, ongoing outreach programs, Yom Tov celebrations and much more.

We’re a growing shul with a dynamic member base and we’d love to welcome you to our special community.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
