Bringing Our Communications into 2025: A Thoughtful, Streamlined Approach

In a world overflowing with emails, notifications, and messages, we recognize that meaningful communication isn’t about saying more; its about saying what truly matters, when it matters. As we move into 2025, we are committed to making our communications clearer, more relevant, and more spiritually uplifting.

We begin this process with our eNews. You will notice, beginning later this month, a change. Twice a week, you’ll receive a streamlined email that highlights one or two key events, provides links to other important happenings, and always offers a direct link to our orami.org/RSVP page, your go-to source for all upcoming activities. These messages, sent from rabbipaul@orami.ccsend.com, are designed to bring you the information you need now or soon, ensuring that you can stay connected to our community without feeling overwhelmed.

A Modern Approach to Sacred Connection

This is just the beginning. Once we refine our eNews, we will turn our attention to other aspects of our communication strategy, ensuring that every message from Congregation Or Ami reflects a thoughtful, modern, and spiritually relevant approach.

Jewish tradition teaches that sacred communication is about more than just words; it is about intention. Rabbi Amy Eilberg, the first woman ordained as a Conservative rabbi, reminds us:

“The work of healing, whether interpersonal or communal, requires us to listen deeply, to discern what truly needs to be said, and to speak with care and purpose.”

In that spirit, we are reshaping how we connect with you, so that each message is a source of clarity, connection, and meaning. Our goal is not just to inform, but to inspire; not just to notify, but to nurture our shared spiritual home.

We invite you to journey with us in this effort. Open your eNews, click through to explore, and let us know what serves you best. Together, we will create a communication strategy that reflects the warmth, wisdom, and modern spirit of our sacred community.

 

L’shalom,

Rabbi Paul Kipnes
