CANCELED: Sharing Culture, Creating Community

  • Museum of the Oregon Territory 211 Tumwater Drive Oregon City, OR, 97045 (map)

Due to low expected attendance, this event has been canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience.


One of the best ways to build a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community is by sharing important cultural traditions. With an increase in antisemitism, this session will highlight some of the important cultural practices and traditions of Jewish people through the sharing of artifacts. To help build connection and community between Jewish and non-Jewish community members, participants will also have the opportunity to share about their related cultural traditions. This program is open to families who have students in grades 3 - 6.
