Shabbat & Weekday Services
Shabbat is an integral part of our gathering as a Jewish community. It is a day of rest, a time to suspend the demands of our rigorous daily schedules and focus on renewing our souls within. In addition to Shabbat services, Havurah Shalom offers morning services every Wednesday. Learn more here.
Holidays
Our High Holiday services are held at the Tiffany Center, except during the pandemic, when they were held online. They are free of charge and open to the Portland community. Our members play an active role both behind the scenes and in the services and programs to make it all happen. Learn more here.
Other holidays at Havurah Shalom play an important role in our community as we gather to celebrate and learn about the rhythm of Jewish life. Learn more here.
