Keys Jewish Community Center

           Congregation Ohr HaYam


We are the only synagogue between Homestead on the mainland and Key West, a distance along the famous Keys archipelago of some 130 miles.

Because we serve a diverse population and visitors from around the world, we are not affiliated with any one branch of Judaism. We welcome all. Our members are our
lay-leaders and our services reflect who
​we are, while being warm and welcoming.

You're a stranger at the KJCC only once, the first time you walk through our door. ​After that you're mishpocha.

We hold Friday night services at 7:30 p.m. followed by oneg Shabbat. We have an active Sisterhood with monthly book club, and our members get together to join in many community activities.  We know that we are a Jewish outpost, and try to provide an extended family atmosphere for young, old, singles and families of all varieties who want a Jewish connection in the Keys.  Check the calendar for activities, and be aware that during the summer some of our services may move to Zoom only.  Contact president@keysjewishcenter.com ahead of time for an invitation.

We encourage you to look at the Chai-Lights link and read our comprehensive publication to learn about our activities, get a sense of who we are.

Services are held every Friday evening at 7:30 PM.
