Temple Or Olam is a fully egalitarian, Jewish Renewal congregation in Concord, North Carolina.  We are fans of great music, Shabbat services with soul, and tikkun olam.

We welcome all who wish to participate in Jewish life – singles, couples and families – regardless of denominational background, financial means, age, or sexual orientation.  Interfaith families are a welcome part of our community.

We are affiliated with ALEPH, the Alliance for Jewish Renewal.  Rabbi Dr. Barbara Thiede leads us with boundless (and infectious) enthusiasm.

Temple Or Olam’s members hail from Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg, Davidson, Huntersville, Midland, Charlotte, and Salisbury.  Our congregation is a place for growing Jewishly with ease and comfort, in the company of friends.
