Personal Debut of Living While Dying
A story of life. A story of death. Finding joy in the journey.

Join filmmaker & P’nai Or member Cathy Zheutlin on a journey to discover how to come to terms with mortality.
“Death kept showing up. So I picked up a camera to document my friends with terminal illnesses, and sought the advice of a death walker and Aboriginal elder in Australia. Now death prompts my conversations with my beloved 91-year-old mom. Living while dying is a wholehearted look at vulnerability and courage as baby boomers reclaim the end of life.”
Co-sponsored by P’nai Or of Portland

Portland Film Premiere – Chavruta: A Drummer’s Bat Mitzvah @ Mittleman Jewish Community Center
Apr 16 @ 7:00 pm

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.
