Jewish Life in the Heart of the Gorge
Hood River Havurah
The Hood River Havurah is a growing Jewish community nestled in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, just an hour from Portland. Rooted in connection, to each other, to tradition, and to this breathtaking landscape, we’re building a vibrant space for spiritual, cultural, and communal life.
Growing Jewish Community
We gather for Shabbat dinners, holidays, and life cycle events, blending tradition with the unique spirit of this place we call home.
Our community includes long-time locals, young families, and new arrivals alike, all connected by a shared desire for Jewish connection and belonging.
Whether you’re seeking prayer, learning, or simply good company, you’ll find a place with us.
Gather, Celebrate, Learn
We host regular Shabbat gatherings, holiday celebrations, and seasonal events across Hood River, White Salmon, and the wider Gorge.
Upcoming highlights:
Fall: High Holiday Gatherings
Ongoing: Bar & Bat Mitzvah support and youth gatherings
A havurah (חֲבוּרָה) is a small, participatory Jewish community rooted in friendship, learning, and mutual support.
