One of the greatest gifts of our Or Ami community is the way we support one another. It is not cliché to say that we are a family of friends who raise each other up when we are down, celebrate all the joys that we can, and strive to create meaningful experiences shaped by Judaism and our part of the Jewish community.

Built brick by brick by those who came before us, this sacred place is continually renewing its mission. The synagogue is more than a building; it’s a living, breathing community filled with purpose, vision and heart. For all who walk through these doors, may Or Ami become your home, just as it became mine the very first time I entered.

Welcome to Or Ami. We’re so glad you’re here!

Welcome to Or Ami! In whatever form or fashion you have come to this community, I welcome you with open arms, a listening ear, and a welcoming spirit. I have heard many times recently that people crave community. Or Ami is committed to creating community. It has been our mission for the past 75 years and will continue to be as we move forward.

Once again this year, COASAC (Congregation Or Ami Social Action Committee) will be collecting, packaging and delivering Thanksgiving baskets to local families in need. Each year, we partner up with the Colonial Neighborhood Food Council to help the families they serve.  

We truly hope that everyone at Or Ami participates in some way. It is heartbreaking how many people are struggling right now; the Or Ami community can make a difference.

Please take the time to sign up for something! You can drop your Thanksgiving item in the hallway past the office door on the left at Or Ami, but it must be there by 9:00am on Friday, November 21. If you sign up for an item, we are counting on it being there, please.

If you sign up for a gift card, please drop it off with Rebecca or Carrie in the office or mail it in an envelope to: Deb Delano Brenner, 14 Cottonwood Court, Lafayette Hill, PA 19444.

*Turkey coupons must be in by Wednesday, November 12.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity! I have delivered baskets for many years, and I cannot even tell you how much they mean to the recipients!
