Mission Statement: To nurture an inclusive and compassionate Jewish community through worship, education, social action, and celebrationThe Jewish Community of Ojai, is a non-denominational synagogue that strives to preserve tradition while encouraging innovation in Judaism.
Jewish Community of Ojai began when a group of people, desirous of developing a Jewish presence in Ojai, began meeting in homes. Soon a building was purchased and eventually we moved to our larger, present site. Originally called K'hilat Ha'Aloneem, the Temple changed its name in 2014 to Jewish Community of Ojai.
Over the years, the members of JCO have been fortunate to learn from many different voices. We have had reform, conservative, orthodox, and lay leaders guide us. We have studied with rabbis who are just starting out and with those approaching retirement. Above all, we have formed a community, providing all of us with an opportunity to explore our Judaism.
