Kol Shalom is a humanist, non-theistic denomination of Judaism, serving the Portland metro area for over 25 years. Rather than a worship service. our observance gives a deep connection with our Jewish roots in celebrating the Jewish new year. Kevin Minkoff will return as our cantor with beautiful traditional Jewish music. We will have a candle lighting, meaningful readings by the congregation and a special talk to deepen our experience together.

All told our service will represent modern Judaism and a time to connect with our Jewish lives. The service itself lasts about one hour with generous time afterwards for socializing with provided light snacks ("oneg"). Non-members are welcome but asked to pre-register at the Kol Shalom website www.kolshalom.org/more Sugested donation for non-members is $20 per service for those 25 and older, free for those younger than 25. We are a welcoming community and hope to see you!
