Welcome to Congregation Or Ami. It is the Place to Be!
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!
Rabbi Glenn Ettman Welcomes You
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.
Membership and Religious School Renewals
Your membership supports meaningful worship, inspiring learning, social action and the strong relationships that sustain us through all seasons of life. Whether gathering in person or online, celebrating holidays or supporting one another in challenging times, your presence makes a difference.
It’s time to renew your child(ren)’s enrollment in Or Ami’s Religious School! We’re excited to continue nurturing their Jewish identity through joyful learning, meaningful traditions and strong friendships. Join us for another incredible year of growth and connection.
