Interfaith

Be an active member of our community 

Congregation Or Atid opens its arms to interfaith families and encourages full integration into our community. Since our founding in 1991, our diverse membership of over 150 families have shared a commitment to making the synagogue experience accessible to each and every member.

Participate fully in your child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah

We encourage all families to have an active role in their child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah experience.  For families that have parents of different backgrounds, we work together to find meaningful ways so that everyone can participate in this important life cycle celebration.  

A Message from one of our interfaith family members: 

"Or Atid is a loving, fun, welcoming community of caring people, that has exceeded our expectations. It is a place of support and deep friendships, and is a pillar of our family life. My interfaith background is unnoticed, and I feel valued and respected by Rabbi Finestone for who I am, just as she embraces every single congregant. During our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, my wife and I felt like co-equal joy-filled parents. I stood proudly on the bima with her, blessed her, and participated as much as I cared to.  My mother, sisters and cousin read prayers. It was a wonderful day."
