Humans are amazing balancing bipeds, but as we get older the balancing act can get more challenging. In this playful and informative workshop we will stimulate the vestibular system, explore the intersection of posture and balance, and learn how we can improve both by tweaking how we think and how we move. Taught by Eve Bernfeld, Certified teacher of the Alexander Technique.
Every Monday night, come together and study our heritage and Torah. No matter what background or affiliation, join together and let’s unite!
Come and join, bring a study partner or you can request one at https://portlandkollel.org/partners/

Join us for the Portland premiere of this 15-minute documentary short by Jodi Darby. The film follows two Jewish Portland artists, drummer/writer/environmentalist Lisa Schonberg and musician/writer/Jewish educator Alicia Jo Rabins, as they prepare for Lisa’s adult bat mitzvah. The word chavruta refers to the traditional partner-style study of Jewish texts; over the course of one year, the two women delve into a grassroots, feminist, distinctly Portland course of study.
Free, but suggested donation of $5 at the door.
7:00 pm at the MJCC.
Join us on a public tour with Bruce Guenther, Adjunct Curator for Special Exhibitions, as he takes you around Mel Bochner – ENOUGH SAID. This exhibition explores language as image and idea through Bochner’s long-held interest in complex printmaking techniques.
From Camp Herzl to The Basement Tapes: a Look at Yearning in The Early Work of Bob Dylan

This selection represents the arc of his life from the Midwest – North Country’s unique Zionist oriented Camp Herzl to the transcendental hills of upstate New York, from folk-to beat infused rock and roll, to country, to an entirely original hybrid known as The Basement Tapes.
