Kesser Israel reports our TEMPORARY LOCATION for Shabbos services, MULTNOMAH ARTS CENTER, which will likely be our temporary location until our semi-permanent transitional location at the former Tuck's Brewery is remodeled.

Multnomah Arts Center is at 7688 SW Capitol Hwy. We will be using the Capitol Room--[Room 30]. It's on the east end of the building (to the left as you walk in the front door), most specifically on the southeast corner of the building, with east-facing windows. It will be a reasonable walk for many of our members. However, parking is available behind the building.
