An Intergenerational Game Night
Saturday, July 11
4 pm – 7 pm
at Eastside Jewish Commons

JFCS and EJC present an evening of games and community at Eastside Jewish Commons! Whether you’re a seasoned card player, a board game enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun way to connect with friends (old and new) of different generations, there’s a place for you at the table.
We’ll have a variety of games available and we encourage you to bring a favorite game from home to share. Enjoy light refreshments, meet new people, and spend an evening building connections across generations in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Come solo, bring a friend, bring a grandchild, or bring the whole family. We look forward to gathering for an evening of play, conversation, and community. All ages welcome!
Free to attend, but please RSVP.
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.
