Or Haneshamah (OrH) is a community of families and individuals who gather to observe Shabbat and Jewish holidays, to study and to socialize. We are an egalitarian, democratic and participatory, self-led group, with our primary meeting place in the Glebe, in central Ottawa.

Since Or Haneshamah was formed in 1987, under the name of the Ottawa Reconstructionist Havurah, we have grown to about 110 households.
