We will gather each week to find some moments of quiet. We’ll start with a brief teaching and/or song, and then sit together in silence. We’ll end with brief optional hevruta (Jewish study) sharing. This is for folks with experience in meditation, those with curiosity but no experience, and those who wonder what happens when Jews aren’t talking the whole time. The group will be led by Deborah Eisenbach-Budner and community members. Please call 503-248-4662 ext 5 with any questions. Come when you can.

The Jewish People, a Story of Survival.
This is the story of Jewish survival. From slavery to the loss of their homeland; from exile to anti-semitism; from pogroms to near annihilation in the Holocaust, how did they endure while so many other communities have vanished? Hosted by Martha Teichner (CBS News / Sunday Morning), explores some of the answers. Acclaimed by the New York Times.
English language, 60 minutes, 2008 PBS Production by Andrew Goldberg.
The Jewish Journey: America. This documentary is an incredible archive of photos, film footage, and personal life stories of first through fourth generation Americans who relate stories about the tight-knit Jewish communities and heartbreaking choices to leave family behind and start a new life in America. Stories from the old country include material from South America, Europe, Russia, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Sundae Cycle: Hannukah
December 8 & 9, 2015
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day holiday commemorating the rededication of a fallen Temple. In collaboration with Mikdash, Morgan St Theater continues its pop-up series – Sundae Cycles – following the Jewish calendar. The second of 6 events, Morgan St Theater will utilize the stories and flavors of Hanukkah in a unique dessert experience.
We will light candles, spin some dreidles and enjoy delicious latkes with ice cream! The flavors remind us of both the cold, wintry months and the warmth of celebrating a holiday with others. Equal parts thoughtful, delicious and engaging, Morgan St Theater is excited to host another dessert pop-up paired with storytelling and interesting Portlanders!
For those that attend this pop-up, it is encouraged that you bring a menorah from home. Last year the group of 20 lit candles together and the many menorahs glowed by the windows. It was a beautiful experience all around.
*Tuesday night will be hosted in SE and Wednesday in NE Portland.
