Seven Havurah members had the opportunity to attend the Oregon Sanctuary Assembly, joining nearly 400 people from over 40 different faith communities to learn more about Sanctuary as part of the broader movement for immigrant justice. Click here to see photos of Havurah members that IMIrJ took at the assembly.

We want to continue to show up and explore what Sanctuary means to us. Through IMIrJ (Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice) we have the opportunity to be part of the Sanctuary Cohort Initiative. For the next six months, IMIrJ will bring us and others from other communities together to explore "what it means to build, be and offer sanctuary and to support one another as we take the steps to make it happen."

We want to identify who from our community is interested in participating in this exploration. For more information see the attached flyer & let us know if you would be interested in being part of a Havurah Cohort. The first gathering will be Monday, January 30th from 6:30 to 8:30 at St. Charles Church (5310 NE 42nd Ave, Portland, OR 97218). Please RSVP here if you can come.
