Whether you are new to High Holiday liturgy and are looking for a way in or you are looking to deepen your experience with all too familiar prayers, you will come away from these sessions with a more nuanced understanding of our liturgy and new ways of standing to pray.

HHD: Kever Avot v’Imahot
2025-09-28 10:30 - 12:00
Kever Avot & Imahot Personal Blessing Graveside at 8013 SE 67th, Portland, Oregon 97206.

Kever Avot v’Imahot (honoring our beloved departed). During the Days of Awe, it is traditional to visit the resting places of our loved ones and reflect on their lives. Your presence at this brief but moving ceremony at the Shaarie Torah cemetery will support those who mourn, honor those whose work we continue to enjoy, and remember those who have been left behind. You need not be a mourner or have anyone buried there to participate.
