Or Emet Rabbi Fund, in memory of Dr. Harold Londer

Dr. Harold Londer was cofounder (along with the late Dr. Larry Garfin) of Or Emet in 1988. He became ordained as a Madrikh (ritual leader) in 2007 and officiated at numerous lifecycle events and services until he transitioned to Madrikh Emeritus in 2018.

Or Emet is proud, grateful, and excited beyond measure to welcome one of its own, Eva Rose Cohen, as our congregation’s first Rabbi. Eva was recently ordained by the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism. Having served as our ritual leader since the passing of our longtime madrikh, Harold Londer, Eva will now step further into her leadership role as Rabbi.

Please give generously to support Rabbi Cohen and help ensure that we benefit from her leadership for years to come. All contributions will go to the Or Emet Rabbi Fund in Memory of Harold Londer.

Donations can be made via Givebutter or via checks mailed to: Seth Binder, Or Emet Treasurer, 3820 Lyndale Ave. S., Minneapolis MN 55409.

General Donations

With an Or Emet gift you can celebrate weddings, births, graduations, b’nai mitzvahs, anniversaries, and other special events; send get-well wishes; or express sympathy. Or, you may make a donation to Or Emet in honor or memory of a loved one or friend.

Also, you are invited to extend a special honor by sponsoring flowers, Onegs, or contributing in other ways to Or Emet’s events.

To further promote Humanistic Jewish culture and traditions, we also welcome tax-deductible donations to Or Emet. While any amount is most appreciated, a special “Or Emet Friend” recognition will be published in our Illuminator newsletter for donations at or above $54.

Your donation can be made via a check and our paper donation form, or electronically via PayPal. A check is preferred if possible, since we lose a fraction of PayPal contributions to transaction fees.
