Please join Congregation Shaarie Torah for a special Shabbat morning service. At this service, we will include new melodies, explore the service with some reflections on the prayers themselves, and chant according to the Triennial cycle of Torah readings. It will be a mix of the beautiful and familiar traditional Shabbat morning service and new ideas and energy. This service meets in the Chapel downstairs on the third Saturday of the month.

Heidi Duckler Dance/Northwest (HDD/NW) presents the world premiere of “Waters of the World” on the weekends of June 15th & 16th and June 22 & 23 at 8:30pm.
Directed by Heidi Duckler, the performance will include five dancers Kya Bliss, Conrad Kaczor, Erin DeLaney, Kiel Moton and Jenny Windom performing on the fifth floor of the Fair-Haired Dumbbell Building’s canted six-story towers. This immersive work will also include projections by Eric Rauh and live prepared piano by Jennifer Wright.
Duckler’s “Waters of the World” is based on a short story of the same title by Clarice Lispector. Lispector is considered by many to be the most important Jewish writer since Kafka, and the context around this short story contributes to Duckler’s inspiration. Set to original music composed by noted saxophonist, Joe Berry (M83) along with a recording of the story narrated by Paula Rebelo (Star of Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House and 2015 Ovation Award winner), the imagery ranges from the amniotic fluid of birth to the Portland rain culminating in a primordial flood.
Tickets: $25 General Admission $15 Students and Seniors
