Deepen your Jewish spirituality through meditation, learning, and community.

Founded by Rabbi Alan Lew z’l and Norman Fischer in 1999, Makor Or continues to offer deep Jewish teaching and practice to the Congregation Beth Sholom community and beyond, both in person and on Zoom. Norman and Rabbi Dorothy Richman regularly offer day-long Jewish meditation retreats before holidays and at an annual Shabbaton. When we gather, we sit, walk, chant, learn, and create spiritual community together. Everyone is welcome, no need to have prior experience in meditation or Jewish ritual.
