Or Hadash, meaning “new light,” is a home for Jewish connection, for the sacred, for authenticity, for the seeker.
We believe that we each hold a divine spark of light inside of us, whether we’re total novices in Jewish prayer and study or we come from years of experience. We bring our full selves here, and we invite you to bring your whole self, too.
