About Us

Or Hadash, meaning “new light”, is a home for Jewish connection, for the sacred, for authenticity, and for the seeker. We believe that by dedicating ourselves to core Jewish teachings and practices, we can bring much needed light to our world and inspire people to live lives of meaning, connection, and purpose.

We are an ever-evolving Jewish community grounded in tradition and guided by the yearnings and imagination of our members. We are built on the connections that can only form when we are totally ourselves.

We embrace music to awaken the spark of divinity within us and connect us to one another...we sing, dance, and laugh with abandon.

Our spiritual leaders invite us to engage fearlessly with our whole selves and listen for the ways that our rich tradition is speaking to us now.  We want to harness our light to bring forth a Judaism that is a force for expanding hesed, loving action, in our world. 

This moment calls us to dream, to wrestle, to wonder, and to experiment with what our sacred community (kehillah kedosha) can be.
