In Loving Memory of Dr. Harold Londer – A Legacy of Leadership

Dr. Harold Londer, along with Dr. Larry Garfin, founded Or Emet in 1988 with a vision of creating a vibrant Humanistic Jewish community. As our ordained Madrikh (ritual leader) from 2007 to 2018, Dr. Londer touched countless lives through his guidance at life cycle events and services.

Embracing Our Future

In honor of Dr. Londer’s legacy, we are thrilled to welcome Eva Rose Cohen as Or Emet’s first rabbi. Ordained in May 2024 by the International Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism, Rabbi Cohen has already demonstrated her dedication to our community. Your donation to the Or Emet Rabbi Fund will help ensure that our congregation continues to benefit from her inspiring leadership.
