Art Gallery Exhibit: The Passover Series
Shlomo Katz, Polish/Israeli, 1937 – 1992
Born in Lodz, Poland, Shlomo Katz immigrated to Palestine when he was eight years old in 1945. Katz developed an original technique of oil painting on a gilded metal surface. The result recalls medieval icons on the one hand, and oriental miniatures on the other. These ancient resources combine to form a totally modern image with a light humorous touch and a noble character. It took a lot of experimentation to translate these images to the graphic art form. The metallic inks of the golden tones and the importance of absolute registration presented just a part of the challenge, but the Katz serigraphs became the ultimate in modern printmaking.
Exhibit on display April 19 – 28, MJCC Lobby

Portland Jewish Educator Turned Author Launches First Book
Book Available Now for Pre-Order; Community Launch Celebration Drawing from more than 30 years of personal experience as a Jewish educator and leader, Dorice Horenstein’s Moments of the Heart: Four Relationships Everyone Should Have to Live Wholeheartedly, will be published by Morgan James Publishing (www.MorganJamesPublishing.com) on Nov. 5, 2019. This book examines the four chambers of the heart in connection to the four different types of relationships we experience as humans: with ourselves, with others, with the Creator, and with special once-in-a-lifetime moments that define us and give us the essence of who we are. To celebrate this milestone, Horenstein invites the community to celebrate the book release at Congregation Neveh Shalom on April 22, 2019, at 6:45 pm.
Moments of The Heart began with Horenstein’s thought of making her sister smile and feel good about the future when she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2014. As she was fighting for her life in Israel, Horenstein wondered how to cheer her up living 10,000 miles away in Portland. Horenstein decided to post positive Facebook video messages every Saturday night, all connected to Jewish thought based on her education and profession. Fast-forward three years and this experience has been transformed into a book so that others can grow and develop in their own knowledge, spirituality and improve their relationship with others.
In Moments of the Heart, available now for pre-order on all major retailer sites, Horenstein brings readers into the universal human experience through a Jewish lens. The four sections of the book correlate to the four chambers of the heart, each chamber addressing the corresponding and issues relationship and issues as they relate to Jewish thought and practice. More importantly, Horenstein uses her expansive Hebrew knowledge to highlight relational themes utilizing the unique and mystical structure of Hebrew words and sentences to probe deep, explore, and bring to light important concepts. At the end of each entry, Horenstein gives readers tools to further explore personal experiences and thoughts.
“The book is very powerful and very beautiful,” said Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, best-selling author of more than 15 books on Jewish ethics and literacy. “What I have read is passionate, very spiritual, and well-reasoned, three things that don’t always go together. I particularly love the analysis of the word matzpun [conscience] and its variety of related meanings, and I was profoundly moved by the journey you took and how you came to write this book.”
You can pre-order the book on Amazon here!
