Hello community! For several years, Or Harim has been gathering people together through meaningful song, ritual, and community meals in the mountains of Western North Carolina. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a vibrant network of people seeking a spiritually grounded, inclusive, and heart-centered Jewish community.

This year, we are entering a new stage of growth. We have built a website, designed a logo, and are in the process of acquiring fiscal sponsorship from the nonprofit Beloved, which will allow us to receive grants and strengthen the infrastructure needed to sustain and expand our offerings.

Our goal is to offer consistent monthly Shabbat gatherings, seasonal celebrations, and High Holiday experiences that are inspiring, accessible, musical, intergenerational, and rooted in both Jewish tradition and reverence for the living Earth.

Your support will help us secure gathering spaces, support musical and spiritual leadership, and build the organizational foundation needed to continue growing into the abundant, sustainable community we aspire to be. Every contribution helps bring this vision to life. Thank you for helping us build the future of Or Harim!
