Rabbi Katie
Introduces Or Shalom

 

Or Shalom Jewish Community is an active community of progressive Jews and non-Jews, diverse yet united in the effort to improve ourselves and mend our world through: limud (Jewish learning), gemilut chasadim (acts of loving kindness), avodah (Jewish spiritual practice), and tikkun olam (social action). We share a commitment to deep mutual acceptance, the spirit of questioning, and a dynamic balance between tradition and innovation that makes our Judaism alive and relevant.

To achieve this mission, we have structured our community around four centers of synagogue life.  Click on any of the images below to enter its respective center.
