Founded in 2000, Congregation Or Tikvah is the only Conservative Synagogue in Northern Lake County. The synagogue focuses on the needs of the people of the congregation rather than their financial support. It eliminated the traditional dues structure and replaced it with 1/2 a Shekel, or the equivalent of less than $0.16 per person.
The congregation now relies completely on donations and fund-raising to exist. It has become an active home to Conservative Jews and of all levels of religious experience and needs can feel welcome.
