Senior Social Hour EVENTS
Ready, Set, Schmooze!
An Intergenerational Game Night
What a wonderful evening we had at EJC on July 11. JFCS, with our community partner Eastside Jewish Commons, loved bringing together people of all ages for an intergenerational game night filled with friendly competition and new friendships. From Scrabble and Blokus to Rummikub and Hues & Cues, there was something for everyone. Add in refreshments, great conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere, and it made for a truly special night. The best part? So many people asked, “When are we doing this again?” We’d call that a success! Thank you to everyone who joined us—we can’t wait for the next one.
JFCS/CNS Senior Movie Matinee: The Women’s Balcony
Wednesday, July 15
1 pm – 3 pm
at Congregation Neveh Shalom
2900 SW Peaceful Lane, Portland
Sometimes the walls that divide us end up bringing a community together.
Join JFCS’ Senior Social Hour and the CNS Wondering Jews 65+ for a special movie matinee of The Women’s Balcony, a warm and witty Israeli comedy about a close-knit congregation facing an unexpected crisis when the synagogue’s women’s balcony collapses during a celebration.
As the community works to rebuild, differing visions for the future create both tension and humor, while the women find themselves at the center of the story in ways no one expected. Filled with memorable characters, sharp observations, and plenty of heart, The Women’s Balcony explores community, tradition, resilience, and the power of ordinary people to shape the places they call home.
We’ll enjoy popcorn and classic movie snacks while sharing an afternoon of laughter, conversation, and a film that celebrates the strength of community connections.
Please note: This film is subtitled. It will be shown in Zidell Chapel for maximum viewing clarity.
Free to attend, but please RSVP.
