Exhibits Feb. 16- May 27
Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto
Vedem Underground examines the literary magazine written by Jewish teens imprisoned at Terezin, a Nazi camp in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. Using pop-art graphics, drawings and paintings, and the prose and poetry, these brave adolescents secretly wrote and illustrated the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp. Vedem (Czech for “In the Lead”) documented their voices with defiance, humor and heartbreak. The exhibition breaks down their 800 original pages and reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine. Curated by Rina Taraseiskey and Danny King.
To Tell The Story: The Wolloch Holocaust Haggadah
On view in the East Gallery: Commissioned by Helene and Zygfryd B. Wolloch, The Holocaust Haggadah is richly illustrated with lithographic prints by David Wander and calligraphy by Yonah Weinreb that link the story of liberation from ancient Egypt to the Holocaust.

Let go of our accumulated sins and transgressions by symbolically casting away breadcrumbs at Sellwood Riverfront Park. Following first day services for Rosh Hashanah, we’ll meet for a musical Tashlich ceremony and meditate on where and who we have been, as well as where we want to go and who we want to be. This part of the t’shuvah process helps to purify our hearts and our souls as the New Year begins.
Bring something to share at the vegetarian potluck immediately following Tashlich. Those with last names starting H-Z, please bring salad or dessert; those with A-G, please bring a vegetarian main dish. Plus, bring drinks for yourself and your family. Havurah will provide some drinks and ice. Don’t forget the breadcrumbs!
Please RSVP with the names of family members and the names and ages of your children planning to attend at tinyurl.com/HavTashlich by Sept. 14.
