History Committee
History Committee members Cynthia Herrup, Marian Rhys, Dale Schwartz, and Becky Seel work to preserve historical documents and artifacts so the Havurah community can share its collective memory and experience.
Listen to oral histories from some of Havurah’s founding or long-term members. These are excerpts from longer interviews posted on the website of the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, which include non-Havurah-related biographical information not included in the excerpts.
(More will be linked here in the coming days.)

OctOctober 2 , 2022Tashlich at Cathedral Park
Sunday, Oct 2nd 4:00p to 5:30p
Families and individuals of all ages are welcome for this brief ritual at the river's edge, led by Barbara Slader. We'll symbolically cast off old habits, attitudes and regrets that no longer serve us. Please bring some bread or cracker crumbs, or small stones, and consider ahead the personal 'unburdening' they represent, as we find renewal in the New Year. There is the larger Havurah Shalom's Tashlich at Roger's Park at this same time and date - but if you are looking for a smaller and closer Tashlich please join us. -

Wednesday, Oct 5th 3:30p to 4:15p
All are welcome! Service is geared toward families with children ages 5-10. We explore the themes of Yom Kippur and sing some of the beloved songs of this holiday. Our service is participatory–with lots of singing, skits and humor. We get right to the heart of the matter of teshuvah, returning to our best selves. We are holding this service later in the day so that families can easily stay for the Mincha service with teen leadership and for Neilah, our short and sweet closing service to Yom Kippur.
