Grab a picnic and a friend for Shabbat on the Plaza, an outdoor musical service–community and a beautiful Portland summer evening? Nothing could be better! RSVP details coming soon!
JND brings the Portland Jewish community monthly opportunities to socialize and connect. Please mark your calendars for these upcoming events. We’d also love YOUR input for future gatherings, so please take a minute to fill out this brief survey. We are finalizing our fall schedule, so keep an eye on this space!
We marked our return with our JND Chanukah Kickoff in December 2022, gathered for CBI’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Shabbat Service in January, ShabBrunch in February, and shook our groggers at a Purim Schpiel and Sip. For Passover, we partnered with Mittleman Jewish Community Center, Congregation Neveh Shalom, Congregation Shaari Torah, Moish Pod, Moishe House, and OnceTable for the PDX Young Adult Seder on the CBI Campus. In May, as part of Mitzvah Day at CBI, we volunteered with with the Cascadia Cluster group to build cedar planter boxes as part of their efforts to build and operate the first sober living tiny home village in Portland. Summer started with the first Shabbat on the Plaza–after which we cheered on the Thorns at Providence Park!
