Monthly Mitzvah Project – March
Each month, the MJCC and PJA communities will collect items for the monthly mitzvah. These projects reflect the Jewish commitment to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), providing opportunities to give back to our community.
Please drop off items in the blue bin in the MJCC Lobby.

Wondering Jews: A Good Life and a Good Death / Understanding RX interactions
Wednesday, January 8, 2:00pm
A Good Life and a Good Death: How do new ideas, ancient rituals, and intentional approaches allow us to create a more meaningful life—and end of life—for ourselves and loved ones? Come hear personal and inspiring stories from CNS members including those who participate in the sacred work of the Chevra Kadisha and Shroud Crowd.
You Bet Your Life: Understanding (prescription and other) drug interactions: Interactions with prescription medications can cause hives, dizziness, comas, severe illnesses and even death. EXCLUDING opioids, data from hospital emergency rooms report nearly 500,000 American deaths will occur annually due to prescription drug interactions, and (non-opioid) drug interactions cost Oregon emergency room departments $32 million a year. This educational workshop will answer your questions, offer prescription guidelines and a checklist to help you identify drug interaction symptoms and (lifesaving) steps to take.
