Make Or Atid Your Spiritual Home
Make Or Atid Your Spiritual Home
Why Or Atid is unique
When you walk through the doors of our synagogue, you'll find the warmth and intimacy of a small congregation where the Rabbi knows everyone's name; a place that offers you and your family countless ways to be part of our welcoming community; and a membership of people who share the same vision of spiritual, social and intellectual growth and the importance of Tikkun Olam and helping those in need.
All welcomed at Or Atid
Whether you are single or partnered; gay or straight; Jewishly involved or seeking Jewish connection; from an interfaith or a Jewish home; be part of our welcoming community. Come talk with our Rabbi Louis Polisson and tell him your needs and wants to make your Jewish experience the most meaningful for you and your family. Our synagogue community is represented by a rainbow of members who come from different backgrounds and family make-up, but all blend together in the love and warmth of our Or Atid family.

Join us for a discussion with Ernesto Rivera. Ernesto’s journey back to the ways of his forefathers started in 2007, after hearing many stories from the family about being Jewish and the different traditions the family practiced. This journey has been exciting and sometimes challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the Anusim or Conversos from the greater Jewish Community. -
