Congregation Ohr Tzafon ("Northern Light") is a vibrant and growing Jewish community on the Central Coast of California.
We welcome everyone interested in finding Jewish meaning and community and invite all to join us in celebration, worship, and pursuing justice and righteousness through our acts of lovingkindness and social action. We are affiliated with the Union for Reform Judaism and we pledge to fulfill Reform Judaism's commitment to the complete equality of women and men in Jewish life.
We are an inclusive community, opening doors to people of all ages, to varied kinds of families, to those who are intermarried, to those who have chosen Judaism, to all individuals and families who strive to create a Jewish home.
We seek dialogue and joint action with people of other faiths in the hope that together we can bring peace, freedom and justice to our world.
Please join us amid the rolling farmland, beautiful vineyards, and small town atmosphere that is our wonderful community.
