Welcome to Congregation Ohr Tzafon!  

We are a  vibrant and growing Jewish community on the Central Coast of California.  Congregation Ohr Tzafon ("light of the north") serves northern  San Luis Obispo County.  Our congregation is made up of Jews from all backgrounds and denominations and we strive to create a community of friends with a common interest in Judaism. We welcome everyone interested in finding Jewish meaning and community.    We 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 Jewish life to people of all ages, to varied kinds of families, to those who have converted to Judaism and to all individuals and families including the intermarried 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 come spend a Shabbat with us, amid the rolling farmland, beautiful vineyards, and small town atmosphere that is our wonderful community.

 
OUR NEW BUILDING!  

Our home in northern Atascadero is at 2605 Traffic Way.  This new location provides us with space to grow, expand our horizons and fulfill dreams we have had for years.  We are happy to announce recent completion of interior renovations including adding a kitchen and building a raised bimah.  We now have a permanent place where we provide a welcoming sanctuary and a focal point for Jewish family and communal life for our members. In a warm and caring environment, we study the wisdom of our religion, and celebrate our traditions and religious milestones together.

The new building.
