Come one, come all, for a night of joy, masquerade, and the story of the courageous individuals from long ago whose valor saved the Jewish people. We will have pizza, Megillah chanting, spieling, and more. Be sure to visit the Alter Rocker’s adults-only table to fulfill the mitzvah of being unable to tell Mordechai and Haman apart. Wear a costume if you have one, or pick out something from Havurah’s collection. Bring your famous hamantaschen to share.
Our evening’s schedule: 6:00pm dinner and games, 6:30pm spieling and Megillah. The program ends at 7:30pm, but everyone is welcome to stay, dance, and continue the party!

Northwest Film Center will showcase and celebrate its 43rd international and regional storytelling through film. The 10-day festival will take place on March 6-15, 2020 at various locations. Some goals of the Portland International Film Festival (PIFF) are, “to gather film lovers and makers, have people be open to new ways of creative expression, and shine a spotlight on artists who go against the status quo.”
Portland International Film Festival organizers hope that patrons will embrace the idea of Cinema Unbound for the first time. Through this concept, PIFF aims to challenge how cinematic stories are told. 2020 also features renowned visiting curators, esteemed guests, industry leaders, and jury members in attendance—all of whom represent major film festivals, museums, and distribution companies around the globe.
