About This Community

Discover the vibrant and close-knit Portland Jewish community! Nestled in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest, our community thrives on unity, where everyone plays a significant role in our Kehilla.

Our comprehensive infrastructure includes daily minyanim, multiple Shabbos minyanim, mikvah, eruv, NCSY, and a Va’ad Hakashrus that certifies local restaurants and catering. The Portland Kollel has a vibrant night seder and many other learning opportunities that make Torah learning the heart and soul of our community. Maayan Hatorah, our local Torah elementary, provides early childhood from 6 months and up, excellent secular and Judaic studies up to 8th grade, and a high school is currently under development. Kosher food is easily available at affordable prices through Safeway kosher bakery, KC Kosher co-op, Seattle Kosher, and Trader Joe’s.

The robust Portland economy, home to major corporations such as Nike and Intel, offers abundant job opportunities in tech, healthcare, education, and many other industries. We are the most affordable community on the West Coast, with 3-bedroom houses starting at 550K and rent starting at 2K.

In just 90 minutes by car, you can immerse yourself in various outdoor activities, from alpine skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing to strolling along the rugged and stunning Oregon Coast beaches.
Come and explore the full and satisfying Jewish life that awaits you in Portland, Oregon!
