A Jewish Choice

Eugene’s Jewish community encompasses many traditions. Over the past few years Or haGan, Light of the Garden Jewish Community in Eugene, has sought to provide a choice that embraces diversity, the richness of tradition, and respect for the varied needs of those who have chosen to participate.

Or haGan’s decision to remain unaffiliated gives us a full spectrum to serve the pluralism of Eugene’s Jewish community. While there needs to be more than one choice, the community is not yet large enough for each sector to stand alone.

We challenge you to be part of building and renewing this vital part of your Jewish community.

Or haGan is registered as a non-profit organization, under statute 501 (C)(3). Our Board of Directors has three members plus Rabbi Jonathan Seidel.
