Havdallah Cafe at the East Side Jewish Commons! 2420 NE Sandy Blvd, Portland, OR 97232. May 14th. Doors open at 6. $18 however no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
We warmly invite you to have havdallah with us and celebrate life, cafe-style with tea, coffee, games, and live music! Havdallah cafe in May will be Klezmer themed night with live Eastern European, Klezmer, and some jazz music to recall our eastern European diaspora (the jazz is just for fun). Eric Stern accordion, Skip Von Kuske Cello, Paul Evans, woodwinds (all former Vagabond opera members by the way). It's not a performance though-rather let the music be the background to a night of conversation, card games and backgammon. Come share the warmth of Havdallah!
