We will have the Sellwood Park Pool to ourselves on Saturday, Aug. 6, from 5:15 to 6:15 pm. Afterward, we’ll gather for Havdalah singing, a story, and BYO picnic under the trees.
Shabbat in the Pool is free, but in order to defray the major cost of renting the pool/lifeguards, please consider making a donation of $5–$15.
RSVP here here by Monday, Aug. 1 with family name(s) and ages of any children so we can reserve enough lifeguards.
Join Havurah Shalom for a casual, family-friendly and music-filled service. Beginning with candle lighting, Kiddush and challah, the service continues with prayers and music led by congregants, followed by a vegetarian potluck dinner.
Wrap yourself in “herstory!” Ever thought about making your own Tallit? Come learn more about them, and make one yourself! Sisterhood is hosting a Women’s Tallit program, where you can learn about the history of women’s use of a talllit, as well as the basics of making your own. If you have a Tallit you wear, or have made, please bring to share! We will re-convene at a later date and plan to tie our “tzitzit” together. For more information contact Dana at otrbanana@frontier.com.
Havurah Shalom will host a Passover Community Seder on Tuesday, April 11, at 6:00 pm. Adults and children of all ages are welcome!

Young children (0-5) and their parents celebrate Shabbat with singing, movement, blessings, and storytelling.

Afterward we will enjoy an informal oneg nosh and the chance to play and schmooze. Please RSVP here by Oct. 17.
