Young Adult Outreach Program
Even when your children graduate from high school, Or Ami remains their home. In an effort to stay in touch with the 18-25 year-olds in our congregation, we send birthday cards and holiday care packages to them throughout the year.
All young adult participants will receive a New Year's care package (delivered in October) and a birthday card with personal note from the clergy. We would love to send two additional packages with your kind financial support. If you would like to opt in at $50 per child, we will send additional packages for Chanukah and Passover (each will include a yummy holiday treat, something fun, and warm note from the clergy). There is no pressure to opt in, all young adults will receive a birthday card and New Year's care package!
Yahrzeit
We want to make sure that we have a complete list of Yahrzeit dates (anniversary of death) so we can send you a reminder of when to say Kaddish (memorial prayer). Please enter your Yahrzeit information below.
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.
