High Holidays Tzedakah Project
High Holidays Tzedakah Project
High Holidays tzedakah project items can be brought to the Tiffany Center on the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur. We will have containers at Havurah for the second day of Rosh Hashanah.
In our endeavor to support the homeless in Portland, we volunteer with Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS). PHFS’s recent purchase of a building will expand its ability to help more parents, guardians, and their children. From eight families at 13 Salmon and Goose Hollow, PHFS will soon be serving 26 families in just one location in the Lents neighborhood.
Our High Holidays tzedakah project this year is to help supply PHFS with needed items for this transition. Please note that all items on the list (below) must be new.

We are excited to bring mahjong back to Havurah. It is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game. So please don't hesitate to join us! -

This exhibit is about science and art. It is meant to be a learning experience, about the top 60 solutions to climate change, as researched by over 5,000 scientists. And most importantly it is about hope. It is about learning about these solutions to climate change and changing the hearts and minds of those around us, so that we can all work together.
