The museum presents “Every Minute Counts – Photographs by Katherine Joseph.” Katherine Joseph was born in the Ukraine and immigrated with her family to the United States in the early 20th century. After a childhood in El Paso and Chicago, she made an adventurous move to New York City to pursue a passion for photography. She landed a job as staff photographer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, where she explored the relationship between worker, machine and the industrial environment. In 1941 she embarked on a photojournalistic expedition to Mexico to demonstrate the durability of the “Americar” manufactured by the Willys – Overland Motor Company. Joseph continued to document American workers on the home front after returning to New York. At the end of the war, like millions of American women of her generation, she set aside her camera to marry and raise a family. Katherine Joseph’s photographs display a profound respect for the fundamental dignity of the people she brought into focus. This is the first public exhibition of her work.

Last month it was rain. This month it is heat! Due to extreme weather, Shabbat in the Park has been cancelled.
When your bluegrass band can’t make it due to the temperature, you know it’s time to celebrate Shabbat at Home. We want all of our congregants and their guests to stay cool and healthy, so there will not be evening services at the synagogue on Friday the 19th.

Please join Congregation Shaarie Torah for a special Shabbat morning service. At this service, we will include new melodies, explore the service with some reflections on the prayers themselves, and chant according to the Triennial cycle of Torah readings. It will be a mix of the beautiful and familiar traditional Shabbat morning service and new ideas and energy. This service meets in the Chapel downstairs on the third Saturday of the month.
In the early 1900s, Eastern European and Sephardic Jews settled in South
Portland.
It was a close and largely self-contained neighborhood. There were kosher
butcher shops and bakeries, a Jewish orphanage and an old age home, social
activism and immigrant benevolent societies. There were schools, a library
with Yiddish books, and the Neighborhood House, a community focal point
with Hebrew lessons, citizenship classes and a medical clinic.
In 1958, Portland voted to create the South Auditorium Urban Renewal
District and bulldozers demolished 54 blocks of the immigrant community.
Despite this, today there are intact reminders of the way life used to be. Based on
her books A Walking Tour of Historic Jewish Portland,The Immigrants’ Children:
Jewish and Italian Memories of Old South Portland, and Stories From Jewish
Portland, Polina Olsen shows you places that remain as she shares first-hand
memories of people who grew up in the neighborhood.
$10 per person, all proceeds are donated to the Jewish Federation of Greater
Portland. RSVP and learn the starting location at [email protected].
