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 holding hybrid in person Shabbat services on Friday night and Saturday morning. Please click here to see Or Hadash's current Covid-19 policy.
We are looking forward to having everyone join us in person, vaccinated and masks recommended, or online! Please contact the office, we close at 2pm on Fridays, if you have any questions about services.


This Friday, March 31, our short Kabbalat Shabbat service will be led by Rabbi Alanna at 7:30 pm. This shorter service will be followed by a program as part of Shabbat Havurah. Join us in the sanctuary vaccinated and masks recommended, or if you are not ready to join us in person, watch us on our YouTube channel. Remember that we have our own custom YouTube URL, find us at https://www.youtube.com/c/orhadashsynagogue.

Torah study & services on Saturday, April 1 will be led by Rabbi Alanna with Rabbi Erin at Shabbat b'Yachad. Shabbat b'Yachad is a special time when SMILE school students, parents, teachers, rabbis & the entire OH community spend a Shabbat morning together learning, singing, praying and enjoying high-quality intergenerational time! There is also a Potluck lunch (like on 3-part Harmony nights) that concludes the morning. Torah Studies begin at 9:00am in various places depending on age and interests, with a bagel breakfast before them at 8:45 am. Shorter Shabbat morning services begin at 10:00 am in the sanctuary and will include a babynaming. The potluck lunch starts at 11:30. Both traditional TS and services are hybrid, join us vaccinated and masks recommended, or if you are not ready to join us in person, watch us on Zoom. Non-members wishing to join on Zoom must contact the office by noon on Friday.
Shabbat Havurah
Join us for Shabbat Havurah - Get in on the Spirit of Shabbat at Or Hadash
It's great to take a deep breath at the end of a long week and create a separation between the week and the weekend. That's what Friday night Shabbat rituals help us do, create a Shabbat frame of mind. How we get to that frame of mind is probably different for each of us, but for many it may include some version of a relaxed evening meal with friends, lots of talking and kibitzing, and some Shabbat rituals. Please join with your fellow Or Hadashers on any (or all) of six Friday nights this year when we will come together to create a Shabbat frame of mind. Empty-nesters, school-age families, and everyone in between, are encouraged to participate.
Book Club meeting
Book Club meets on Mondays every 5-6 weeks throughout the year. The book to be discussed on April 3 is "Dinners with Ruth: A memoir on the power of friendships" by Nina Totenberg.
Evening Torah Study
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!
Or Hadash Singing Circle
The first meeting of the Or Hadash Singing Circle was at Or Hadash in the sanctuary on Wednesday, February 8th at 7:00pm. If you need a ride please let us know. Future meetings will be monthly on the second Wednesday of the month.
Here are three links for the pieces we hope to start with. To access the recordings, copy and paste the links into your browser.
