Exhibits Feb. 16- May 27
Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto
Vedem Underground examines the literary magazine written by Jewish teens imprisoned at Terezin, a Nazi camp in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. Using pop-art graphics, drawings and paintings, and the prose and poetry, these brave adolescents secretly wrote and illustrated the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp. Vedem (Czech for “In the Lead”) documented their voices with defiance, humor and heartbreak. The exhibition breaks down their 800 original pages and reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine. Curated by Rina Taraseiskey and Danny King.
To Tell The Story: The Wolloch Holocaust Haggadah
On view in the East Gallery: Commissioned by Helene and Zygfryd B. Wolloch, The Holocaust Haggadah is richly illustrated with lithographic prints by David Wander and calligraphy by Yonah Weinreb that link the story of liberation from ancient Egypt to the Holocaust.

Join us on the Shaarie Torah courtyard for an evening of music, prayer, and spirit. Oneg and short drash with Rabbi Josh Rose to follow services.
Rabbi Rose, Cantor Vitells, and a wonderful group of musicians will delight with this beautiful musical Shabbat service! Come together for a very special evening of singing, prayer, and community.
During Tefilla Lab services, we will introduce the community to different melodies, niggunim and other innovations. The goal is to provide a space for experimentation where we can try out what prayer forms might deepen our kehilla’s experiences. Our hope is that some of these experiments will yield results that we can incorporate more regularly into Neveh Shalom’s communal Shabbat spirituality. We hope you will join us!
Help create traditional burial clothing which will then be used by the Chevra Kavod haMet for their work. No sewing skills are necessary. Sewing machines welcome! Contact Sandy Axel: [email protected].
Join us as we discuss the book “Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter: A Novel” by Peter Manseau. We will meet in the Feldstein Library.
Everyone loves being outside in Portland during the summer and so do we! You’ve probably seen the Maccabeats on YouTube, now see them live! Based out of Yeshiva University in New York, this American-Jewish acappella group specializes in covers and parodies of contemporary hits. This concert will also serve as as PJ Library’s fall kick-off event for the year.
All concerts will be held on our lawn. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
