Ner Shalom: Strictly Scent-Free


The Nose Knows

We Love You Just the Way You Smell

Pretty please: omit the colognes and scented soaps and products when coming to Ner Shalom. We say we're strictly scent-free, and we mean it. Please make it possible for everyone in our community to share holy space together. We ask you for your extra mindfulness around this, both for you and your guests! Remember: less is more.
