History

Originally founded and incorporated in 2003 as Congregation Havurat Olam, Temple Or Olam is an independent Jewish congregation serving University City and the greater Concord area. Temple Or Olam celebrates life cycle events, festivals, High Holy Day services, and active engagement in social action projects. Our community offers a Religious School for children, b’nai mitzvah and confirmation training, and a range of educational opportunities for adults.
