Join us in a short ritual in which we reflect on our special relationship with the written and printed Hebrew word, and on the transitory nature of even our most cherished sacred objects.
Bring your any old, unusable sacred text you have – old Bibles, prayerbooks, papers – to River View Cemetery.
(The day of our event, there will be major construction on Taylors Ferry Road between Macadam Blvd and the entrance to the cemetery. Access is ONLY available via Terwilliger Blvd!)
Materials can also be dropped off at Congregation Shir Tikvah at our lecture on May 6 or at the JFGP prior to May 28.
Please wrap your materials in a brown paper bag.
This ancient ritual for disposing of unreadable or unusable ritual texts is open to all. On Sunday, May 31, the community will gather at the River View Cemetery to experience and participate in the ritual burial of sacred Jewish texts and objects. At 10:30 a.m., participants will meet at the cemetery’s main office, located at 0300 SW Taylors Ferry Rd. From there, people will make their way – via car or bike – as a processional to the Jewish Cemetery at River View for a brief, traditional ceremony.
Please join the Havurah community as we gather at Sellwood Riverfront Park to perform the Tashlich ceremony. We seek to symbolically “cast away” our accumulated sins and transgressions, so that we may purify our hearts and our souls as the New Year begin. This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
Bring something to share at the vegetarian potluck immediately following Tashlich. What to bring by Last Name: A-G Salad or Dessert/H-Z Vegetarian Main Dish. Plus, bring drinks for yourself and your family. Havurah will provide some drinks and ice. AND DON’T FORGET THE BREADCRUMBS! Led by Emily Teplin Fox and Rachel Oh. Music provided by Steven Mesulam, Scott Snyder, Aaron Pearlman and others.
Please RSVP to RSVP@havurahshalom.org with the names of family members and the names and ages of your children who plan to attend.
Havurah Shalom invites you to our Kol Nidre Service at the Tiffany Center, 1410 SW Morrison St, Portland, beginning at 8:00 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
