Oheb Shalom Congregation
Oheb Shalom (Hebrew: Lovers of Peace) is a Conservative synagogue in South Orange, New Jersey.
The congregation was founded in 1860 by a group of Bohemian Jews. Its 1884 Moorish Revival building, known as Prince Street Synagogue, in Newark, New Jersey is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The present building, in South Orange, was constructed in 1958. The speakers at the dedication of the congregation's 1911 Neo-Classical building were Solomon Schechter, President of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and the then Governor of New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson.

Each pulpit gesture in deft dumb-show
That had moved the congregation so.”
