Calendar

This Tashlich celebration is in addition to, not instead of, Havurah Shalom’s Tashlich service at Willamette Park on Sept. 16.

We’ll gather at the picnic tables on the east side of SW Huntington, next to the play structure. Bring a snack or finger food to share if you’d like to but it’s not necessary. RSVP through link below or to Beth Shreve (shreves5@frontier.com). In case of extreme weather, call or text (971) 212-0904 for up-to-the minute changes.

All ages are welcome. Reservations are required. If you are not a current TBT member and wish to attend any, or all, of the High Holy Days Services, we respectfully request a minimum donation of $150 per adult or $250 per family to help defray expenses.

This year, Havurah is holding Rosh Hashanah Day 2 services at Havurah Shalom, 825 NW 18th Ave., instead of the Tiffany Center. Childcare will be available, and the services will be followed by a catered luncheon. You can see the full schedule at tinyurl.com/HH-5779.
