HHD: Taslich
2025-09-28 13:00 - 14:00
Join us for Taslich at 1pm at Westmoreland Park. Park on SE 22nd Avenue between SE Bybee and SE Knapp and look for balloons and a shofar. We will gather at the picnic tables near the path.

During the Rosh Hashanah holiday, many individuals and synagogues observe a fun outdoor holiday whose origins go back to the Middle Ages. It’s called tashlich, which is the hebrew word for “casting off / throwing off.” We will gather at the edge of the river for the symbolic ritual of casting out our sins.

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.
