WORDS THAT BREATHE

Two rabbis spent a rainy day at Disneyland with Congregation Or Ami's youth before Rosh Hashanah — and discovered where real community-building happens.

Congregation Or Ami united to support Scott Sorrentino’s search for a kidney donor, inspiring hope, compassion, and the power to save a life.

We didn’t just play games. We practiced being Jewish. At Or Ami’s retreat, teens mentored younger campers through “Deal or No Deal,” Human Scrabble, and a Jewish Olympic torch ceremony, learning to balance nitzachon with chesed. In a moment of rising antisemitism, that kind of joyful Jewish leadership matters.
