Dear Havurahniks,

If you’ve ever found yourself far from home during High Holy Days, you know that most cities don't have a Jewish community that opens its doors to everyone for services, year after year. What a mitzvah! You can read about Havurah’s welcoming services in this month’s Oregon Jewish Life.

It takes our entire community to make this happen! We currently have only 16% of our High Holy Days roles filled. Please sign up for at least one volunteer position through our Signup.com website. It's simple. Just click here or on the button below and enter your email. You do not need to create an account to sign up.

We’re looking for ushers for all services. This 45-minute role is a key part of creating a welcoming environment at the Tiffany Center. It’s great for both new Havurahniks and experienced volunteers.

We also need volunteers to help us move items from Havurah to the Tiffany Center on Thursday, Sept. 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm – people to load at Havurah and people to unload at the Tiffany Center. It’s the perfect role for the strong high schoolers in your life!

Many other roles are still open, too, so please commit to what you can.

RSVP Deadline for Childcare is Monday, Sept. 19

The RSVP deadline for High Holy Days childcare is Monday, Sept. 19. Registration forms must be in the office by Monday to qualify for a pre-registration discount. Forms can be downloaded here.
