Friday, Aug 23, 5:30-8:30 pm at the picnic tables off SW Vermont St in Gabriel Park for our third “Shabbat in the Park” of the summer led by Rabbi Hannah and Hazzan Baruch. We’ll start with a potluck picnic (vegetarian/fish) at 5:30, and the service itself will start around 6:30. Having a Shabbat service once a month during the summer has become a beloved tradition at P’nai Or. There will be picnic tables and benches, but please bring a camp chair for your comfort if you wish.
Join Congregation Neveh Shalom for their weekly Shabbat outdoors on the plaza! From now through September, every Friday night at 6:15 pm, you can enjoy our beautiful Portland summer evenings singing, praying and schmoozing outside on our upper plaza!
If the weather doesn’t allow us to be outside, we will meet in the Stampfer Chapel.
