Social Activities
Fellowship is an important aspect of Or Ami's congregational life. Or Ami retains a cohesive sense of family by encouraging its members to meet in a social atmosphere as well as for religious purposes. We have family actiivities as well as adult social events. The congregation sponsors fundraising events, movie nights and get togethers of all types. Social events are planned around religious services and holidays such as Shabbat dinners, Oneg Shabbats, potluck lunches after adult education, a Purim play, a Shavuot ice cream social and break-the-fast held yearly after Yom Kippur services. All our dinners are potluck and the congregation is blessed with excellent and creative cooks.
