The group meets weekly on Wednesdays from 10-10:45 AM. This series is rooted in the teachings of Sefer Yetzirah — one of the most ancient and mysterious works of Jewish mysticism.

Sefer Yetzirah is a pre-Kabbalistic text that infers that the Hebrew letters themselves are more than symbols: they are the building blocks of creation, channels of divine energy, and pathways into deeper awareness. In this meditation series, we explore the letters as sources of magic, creativity, and transformation. Through guided practices, chanting, and silent reflection, we will invite the power of the alef-bet to open our hearts, calm our minds, and connect us more fully to the sacred flow of life.

No previous meditation experience is required. This is a welcoming space for all who wish to encounter Jewish wisdom through the lens of mindfulness, presence, and contemplative practice. Together, we enter into a centuries-old stream of Jewish mysticism in community and allow it to nourish us in the present moment.

It's a first: Shabbat Tikvah! This service will bring together for the first time in worship members of Kol Ami and BCC. At the very core of the evening will be "Hope". The evening was inspired by several things: the challenge of antisemitism, the acclaimed book, Choosing Hope: The Heritage of Judaism by David Arnow, and the desire to further connections between Kol Ami and BCC. Please circle Friday, August 14th on your calendars! The Service will feature Rabbi Jillian Cameron (BCC), Rabbi Lindy Reznick (Kol Ami), Rabbi Suzy Stone (of LA Voice), and Cantor Kerith Spencer-Shapiro (Hebrew Union College). The service will be preceded by a meal at 6 PM. Don't miss this special evening! Click here to RSVP for the pizza party (or meal)!

Join us at Der Nister for Meditation during Tikkun Leil Shavuot. Come for all or part of the all-night long experience!

Meditation is on Thursday, May 21 from 10-10:45 PM. It’s totally OK to come to part of this experience.

The experience continues until the break of dawn. The Tikkun Leil Shavuot is an experience like none other — an all-night Jewish learning and arts session to keep us awake for the reception of Torah at morning’s light for the festival of Shavuot.

Stay awake with your community as we indulge in Japanese ice cream and cheesecake, enjoy art and music, and dive into deep learning about dreams, nightmares and self-actualization until the break of dawn, when we receive Torah on the roof! Bring your own flowers to decorate the synagogue. 

The full Tikkun begins on Thursday, May 21st 7:00 pm at Der Nister. More details to come! Register here.

Congregation Or Ami is dedicated to helping us remember and observe Shabbat in our lives. We want to make Friday night – the beginning of the Shabbat day – a different kind of evening, a holy evening. Or Ami’s very first commitment was to create Shabbat services that would be spiritually and socially satisfying experiences to cap off activity of the week just finished. Our services always include opportunities to welcome guests and new members, as well as moments to sing prayers for health.
