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.
