Shabbat on the Beach was everything we hope these evenings will be—beautiful weather, delicious food, meaningful worship, and a community coming together across generations.

More than 60 people joined us this past Friday, including six new families experiencing Or Hadash for the first time! Children played volleyball, built amazing sandcastles, explored the playground, splashed in the lake, and made new friends while everyone enjoyed a relaxing evening by the water.
