About Our Congregation

In 1986, a small group of families had the vision to start a new Conservative synagogue in Richmond.  Through their dedicated efforts, our egalitarian, participatory Congregation was created and continues to thrive.

The hallmark of our Congregation is our sense of community:

• Children are involved in all aspects of synagogue life 
• Interfaith families, and those of all lifestyles, are welcomed and included. 
• Congregants of all ages enjoy spending time together praying, learning, relaxing, socializing, and contributing to the greater community. 

Congregation Or Atid fosters Jewish identity, values, and spirituality, and promotes the observance of Jewish traditions within a comfortable and caring environment.
