The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education invites you to join spiritual and faith leaders from around Oregon for this special conversation framed around Simon Wiesenthal’s thought provoking book The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limitations of Forgiveness. In the first half of the book Wiesenthal recounts his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp and what he did when asked for forgiveness by a dying SS soldier. In the second half of the book distinguished men and women from around the world offer their own reflections about whether or not Wiesenthal did the right thing in response to the dying man.
Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Neveh Shalom, will be joined by prominent leaders from other faith-based communities including Salma Ahmad, President of the Islamic Society of Greater Portland; Mary Jo Tully, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon; Linda Neale of the Earth & Spirit Council; and David Leslie, Executive Director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon.
This panel is presented in partnership with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, the Earth & Spirit Council, and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and has been generously underwritten by Howard and Wendy Liebreich.
We especially thank the First United Methodist Church for hosting the panel discussion at 1838 SW Jefferson St

Accounts of art looted from museums and private collections in Europe by the Nazis during the Second World War have been recounted many times in film, non-fiction and novels.
Join Bruce Guenther, recently retired Chief Curator of the Portland Art Museum, and Susan Winkler, author of Portrait of a Woman in White, for a lively conversation that explores historical and art historical insights into the subject of looted art. Winkler’s latest work of fiction follows the theft of a Matisse painting from a Jewish family and provides a provocative springboard on a subject – seventy years after the end of the war – that still captures our attention.

Second Thursday of the Month, 6:30
In this monthly class we will explore different topics in Torah, ranging from mussar (Jewish self improvement), Jewish spiritual practices, the inner meaning of the holy days and more. Rabbi Rose will introduce the class to the texts, give individuals time to learn on their own and lead a discussion. Participants will walk away with a deeper knowledge of Judaism and practical tools to bring Jewish teachings and values into their life. Knowledge of Hebrew is not required and the class will be of interest to those with some familiarity with the topic and newbies as well.
