Temple Or Olam: We are a havurah in the real sense of the word: A group of friends. We choose to be with one another because we enjoy each other’s company.
We offer services and activities both online and in person and some of our members hail from outside our region and even our home state! Whether you live in our corner of the world or on the other side of the ocean, you can join us for services, our Books a’Minyan book club meetings, our All Things Jewish study sessions, and our News n’Shmooze social meetings — Zoom has made it possible for us to dissolve boundaries of both time and space. We even include an online membership option! Events are listed on our calendar; you’ll find time and location as well as descriptions of upcoming events there.
We are profoundly interested in Jewish learning and shared Jewish experience. Our ethics define our behavior; our members help sustain each other. Numbers and size do not define our community. Heartfelt and joyous commitment does. Feel free to contact us for more information at info@or-olam.org!

Tisha B’Av: Remembering Those who “Saved” Judaism (Not the Rabbis)
Every year, rabbis across the country approach Tisha B’av by reciting the same narrative. The destruction of the Second Temple in the first century inflicted a horrific trauma on Jews everywhere; we must remember and thank the rabbis for saving Judaism by gathering in the enclave of Yavneh to reconstruct it.
Wrong. And wrong.
