Or Ami Village - For Or Ami Partners 55 and over
Or Ami Village is a vibrant, welcoming community, for partners 55+. Villagers have been gathering twice a month for over a year to socialize, laugh and learn together, to form connections and friendships … in the warm and inclusive Or Ami way. Join us and help the Village continue to thrive!
We invite you to be part of this vibrant Jewish community. Our partnership (membership) levels provide you with a personalized vibrant Jewish experience within a community committed to social action, Torah learning, and meaningful relationships. Your commitment opens doors for your family to enjoy exciting events as a part of a warm, inspiring, and musical community.
The actual cost of maintaining Or Ami's operations is approximately $5,000 per household. Committing at the Sustainer level enables us to completely cover our cost, and ensures Or Ami's vibrant future.
