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.
Havurah Shalom invites you to our Erev Rosh Hashanah Service at the Tiffany Center, 1410 SW Morrison, in Portland. All are welcome, and no preregistration, tickets or payments are required.
Please join us for this engaging evening of memoir readings by students of Rob Freedman’s workshop, “Memoir Writing from a Jewish Perspective.” Each year this eight-week workshop helps participants to discover the stories they want to write and share. The emphasis is on those experiences that are uniquely Jewish in nature, reflective of our culture and identity – whether the writers are Jews by birth or by choice, or among the still perplexed.
The evening will include a brief Kabbalat Shabbat service, and will be followed by a potluck dessert oneg. To help us plan for the oneg, please RSVP here by June 6.
