Call for Photos – Submit Your Best Israel Pics!
Send in your best photo you took while visiting Israel by April 17 to be displayed at our community photo exhibition. Email a high resolution copy to lsteinberg@oregonjcc.org with a note about when and where it was taken.
All submissions will be on display at the MJCC from April 24 – May 31
Each month the MJCC and PJA communities will collect items for the monthly mitzvah. Drop off items in the blue bin in the MJCC lobby. Check the display for how you can participate and donate to these worthy causes.
This project reflects the Jewish commitment to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), providing opportunities to give back to our community.
