Israel from the Eyes of the Community – A PDX Community Art Display:
Members from the Greater Portland area submitted photos that were taken by them while in Israel. A committee selected the photos on display. During the week leading up to our annual Yom Ha’Atzmaut Celebration (May 3), you can vote for your favorite photo! Winners will be announced at Yom Ha’Atzmaut.
Submissions to lsteinberg@oregonjcc.org by April 17.
Exhibit on display April 24 – May 31
Each month the MJCC and PJA communities will collect items for the monthly mitzvah. Drop off items in the green 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.
Please drop off items in the green bin in the MJCC Lobby.

As always, we end with our community for lunch!

Schechter Spark is a celebration honoring the legacy of Rabbi Joshua and Goldie Stampfer, z”l.
The event will consist of a brunch and fundraiser for Camp Solomon Schechter on May 3 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm at Congregation Neveh Shalom at 2900 SW Peaceful Lane in Portland.
Camp Solomon Schechter has a 65-year tradition of fun, friendship and Jewish education in the Pacific Northwest.
The money raised will go to funding transformative, Jewish experiences; providing financial assistance to families who can’t afford camp (and can’t afford to miss camp); updating safety and security measures; hiring Jewish role models, who make it possible for more children of all needs to experience CSS and teaching the future generation to be proud of their Jewish heritage and culture.
The Migdal Or Award will also be given out during the event. The award honors Rabbi Joshua and Goldie Stampfer’s, z”l, legacy and commitment to Jewish continuity and camping.
A Migdal Or is a beacon of light. The award is given out to remarkable individuals that keep the spark of the Stampfer’s legacy alive and light the way for others to follow.
