Our community
Or Chadash is currently a lay-led shul and community supported by many volunteers. A roster of talented men and women deliver weekly Divrei Torah, while services and programming are coordinated and led by members of our community.
Each person comes with a different background, and provides a different perspective, to encourage the development of a community that engages and respects a variety of opinions.
