Welcome to Congregation Beth Israel
Beneath our dome is a spiritual home, a place of community and friendship, a place to be inspired through prayer, a place for lifelong learning, and a place where every person makes a difference.
Passover 5784
Passover 5784 will begin at sunset on Monday, April 22, 2024; please join us for programs in advance of and throughout the holiday.
Over the course of the Passover holiday, please refrain from bringing chametz (leavened food or items containing wheat, rye, barely, oats, or spelt) onto the CBI Campus.
From an appearance from beloved children’s author Eric Kimmel to a musical haggadah from our fifth grade classes to a young adult Seder and opportunities for community service, there is a celebration for everyone at CBI.
Young
Adult Seder
Saturday, April 27
6:00 PM
Raise a glass (or four) at Portland’s Young Adult Seder. This musical, interactive Seder experience, led by Congregation Beth Israel’s Cantor Rayna Green, is a great way to connect with Jews in their 20s and 30s across the Portland area while enjoying a light Passover meal. $18/person, age 21 and over. This is a child-free gathering (but we hope to have family friendly events in the future!).
Please email chelsea@bethisrael-pdx.org with any questions!
With deep appreciation to our cosponsors: Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Congregation Neveh Shalom, Portland Jewish Connection, Moishe House Pod, and PDX Hillel.

We are currently accepting registration for all age groups, and classrooms will be opened throughout 2024 as spaces are filled. Once our classrooms are full, our waitlist placement will prioritize families who are members of Congregation Beth Israel, as well as those who already have a sibling enrolled at The Jennie.
We will hold an open house for prospective families on Saturday. March 16 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM; please let us know if you plan to join us.
