Who We Are
Beth Or – Reimagining Spirituality
From our very inception, we have been an out-of-the-box, innovative, spiritual community. Beth Or engaged the passion and energy of Rabbi Robyn Fisher to transform and ignite that same founding spirit for a new generation of our Jewish community. Rabbi Robyn’s vision is one that is steeped in Jewish tradition but one that is fluid in creating a relevant and meaningful interpretation of our heritage to add meaning and to inform our lives today. It is the mantra of our community to “Make the old new and the new holy.” Everything has the opportunity to be reimagined and reinterpreted for a new generation. Our community is reclaiming Judaism…the prayers, the ancient texts, the music, the moral imperative…..and breathing new life into it. We are not your parents’ synagogue- synagogue. We reside in a home on 3 1/2 acres of meditation gardens but are not bound by its four walls. We welcome everyone to join in on our vision, regardless of your age, race, gender identity, socio-economic status, Jewish (or not) background, or God belief. It is through our diversity that we will continue to grow and gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of our greater humanity. All that is missing is you!
Our Mission
Beth Or’s mission is to foster a Jewish community dedicated to the exploration, creation, reimagination, and celebration of innovative opportunities for sacred gatherings that nourish our desire for meaning, connection, spirituality, and healing. We cultivate these priorities of our sacred community through three core values: Limmud, Jewish Learning, Chesed, acts of loving kindness, and Tzedek, the pursuit of justice. It is through these core values that we deepen our responsibilities and connection to one another, to God, and to the world in which we live. Our vision is to foster a spiritual, everybody-friendly, all are welcome, creatively inspired, ever-learning and morally responsive Jewish community.
