Har Shalom News
Basement WiFi
Have you ever been frustrated when you are in the basement and you don’t have Wi-Fi access? Good news! Har Shalom now has Wi-Fi access thanks to Ron Weinberg, owner of 365 IT. If you want to make a call and have WiFi-enabled calling on your phone, all you have to do is make sure it is enabled and you will have access. Ron has been in the process of updating our IT systems since September and has done so at no charge to Har Shalom.
All computers have been upgraded to Windows 10 and our sparkly projector has been replaced. He has worked with Comcast to significantly increase our internet speeds and we have a new TV, DVD player and soundbar that works beautifully. Ron has joined our Ops Committee and he is a tremendous resource to Har Shalom. Thank you, Ron for your time, talents, and treasures!
