Congregation Or Shalom of Orange, Connecticut, invites you to celebrate Judaism in our friendly, family-oriented synagogue.

Experience our "services-in-the-round" which enhance our sense of community and inclusiveness. Stand beside us in our commitment to social action--Tikun Olam--repairing and healing the world. Join us as we discover the ancient texts of our heritage and the light they shed on the issues of today.

Join us on Monday, October 7 at 7 PM at the Beckerman Lender Jewish Community Building as we gather as a community to mark one year since the horrific terror attacks of October 7th, 2023. 

This Evening of Remembrance and Solidarity with Israel will include speakers from Israel, spiritual and communal leaders from across Greater New Haven, and original musical compositions in tribute to the resilience of the Jewish people.

Please bring government ID, your JCC access fob or JCC ID for entrance.

Blessing of the Animals October 27th at Noon. Bring your pets to be blessed by Rabbi Wainhaus. The event is timed to take place on the weekend when the Torah reading recounts the creation of the world and will be heard in synagogues everywhere. Once again, we’ll hear the majestic words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth… And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds.” What better time to celebrate the gift of the animals in our lives than this weekend. Please come with your leashed or caged pets, be they cats, dogs, birds, fish or turtles! Children are especially encouraged to attend with their parents.
