Join Congregation Beth Israel for a summer favorite: Shabbat on the Plaza. Bring family and friends, a blanket and a picnic, and celebrate Shabbat in the beautiful Portland summer on the Temple Lawn.
From now through September, every Friday night (except 4th Friday) at Congregation Neveh Shalom, you can enjoy our beautiful NW summer evenings singing, praying and schmoozing outside on our upper plaza! If weather doesn’t allow us to be outside, we will meet in the Stampfer Chapel.
Join other young families with kids age 0-5 years at Congregation Neveh Shalom for singing, dancing, stories, indoor picnic-style lunch and Shabbat fun.
Are you located in Beaverton, Hillsboro, or Aloha? Join Rabbi Eve Posen of Congregation Neveh Shalom as we head west for some community bonding time with our families who live out that way.
Bring your favorite vegetarian or dairy potluck food, utensils, and plates. We’ll play, eat, schmooze, and get to know one another.
So we have a headcount, please RSVP to Rabbi Eve via email.
Mussar is an approach of self-awareness and personal development that is grounded in deep reflection on Jewish texts and on spiritual practices that guide us toward greater control over our thinking and behaviors. Rabbi Joshua Rose of Congregation Shaarie Torah leads the exploration of Mussar.
