Join us for a new monthly gathering at Congregation Ahavat Achim to nourish body and soul.

Led by former CAA hazzan, and Director of Jewish Life & Learning at the Jewish Federation of Portland, Dr. Yosef Rosen, we’ll study passages of the Zohar (in English), the classic work of Jewish mysticism, exploring its poetic visions of the cosmos, the sefirot, and the mysteries of the soul, and savor the flavors of zhoug—that fiery, fragrant Yemenite schmear—on crackers, to add a bit of heat and joy to our conversations.

Food will be kosher pareve.

Whether you’re well-versed in Kabbalah or just curious to taste these mystical texts (and the zhoug), you’re warmly invited. Come deepen your Jewish journey in the company of seekers, spice-lovers, and kabbalistic wisdom. All are welcome regardless of prior knowledge!

This event is free to attend. We ask that your register online for the upcoming session so we know how much food to prepare.
