The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America Synagogue Services Department

What is Community and Synagogue Services?

The Orthodox Union has a stake in every community in the Jewish world. The Community and Synagogue Services Division of the OU is designed to function as a network of active, vital kehillot.

Our goal is to bond member synagogues to a central supportive headquarters and to each other by a unity of purpose and shared experience.

Synagogues look to the Orthodox Union now more than ever for this help and support.  Community and Synagogue Services is the conduit through which all congregations can learn of the numerous programs offered by all OU departments.

Our Division will work on tailoring OU programs to the specific needs of your local population. This communication will benefit everyone, as Shuls will be able to render services that are truly relevant to their memberships.  We will enable members and shuls to see themselves as part of the greater OU family.

The driving force that created the Orthodox Union over 100 years ago is even more important today in our complex world. Access to dynamic programming and powerful resources will make it all possible.
