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!
