Or Hadash Welcomes You!
Or Hadash: A Reconstructionist Congregation, is a progressive, engaging and creative community that welcomes people of all backgrounds, including interfaith families, LGBTQ individuals, as well as people of all races, ethnicities and disabilities. We strive to make Judaism meaningful through study, prayer, cultural, musical and other artistic expression. Social action and acts of tikkun olam are also important ways to engage at Or Hadash. We want all people to know that they are completely welcome and that they can quickly become an integral part of our friendly community.
Or Hadash is now holding hybrid Friday night services, masked and socially distanced and also livestreaming on YouTube. These services are open to everyone, with a sign-up required so that we can maintain a record of attendees. If you do not write on Shabbat, please use the advance sign-in feature below. Unfortunately, Torah Study and Shabbat morning services, on Saturday morning, are not being held in-person until mid-December, due to technical issues. Saturday morning Torah Study will be held at 9 am and Services follow at 10 am. Zoom links are available by contacting us in advance.
We are looking forward to having everyone join us, in-person or online! Please contact the office if you have any questions about services.

Evening Torah Study
December 13, 2021 - 7:30pm
For congregants who are interested in learning more about Torah, lay-led Torah study will take place the second and fourth Mondays every month. The approach is entirely different than on Shabbat. It’s an enrichment program, where we’ve proceeded in depth verse by verse. A knowledge of Hebrew is helpful, but not necessary. For more information, please contact Marty Jacobs or Jeff Chebot. Open to all!
And now there is Torah Study via Zoom!
Antiracism study group meeting
December 13, 2021 - 7:30pm
The antiracist study group is reading Isabel Wilkerson's Caste, which focuses on how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. This is an opportunity to engage and learn in community about the history and impact of racism. We will also devote a portion of each meeting to discussing next steps forward as community in actively working against racism.
The group meets on Mondays at 7:30 pm every three weeks via zoom.
