Our Children
Our Community

Welcome...

Families with children will appreciate our educational offerings which range from Foundation School (ages 2-5) to ALIYAH (our K-12 Jewish learning program), to our USY teen-based programs. Because learning does not stop once adolescence ends, we offer many adult programs, too. We truly are egalitarian and welcoming. Think of us as your congregational family. 

Welcome...

We are located in the heart of Southwest Portland, easily accessible from all points in the metropolitan area in a beautiful facility that was totally modernized and updated in 2008 featuring the largest Jewish library in the Northwest, three chapels, a boutique-style gift shop, and plenty of parking.

isaakParshat Hashavua:  Hukkat, Numbers 19:1-22:1

The rabbis declare this one of the more curious passages in the Torah. God instructs Moses and Aaron on the laws of purification. When an individual becomes ritually impure, primarily by proximity to a corpse, s/he must undergo a purification procedure. That involved being sprinkled with the ashes of an unblemished red heifer, which when located had to be properly slaughtered by the Kohen and then burned. The procedure for Kohen and for the one purified was enormously complex.
