Impact Report 2022

From the Director

To be truly visionary we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.

Dear Friends,

As we wrestle with the myriad of social and political issues around us, I am empowered by our community, which is now more vital than ever. Whether we explore an aspect of Oregon Jewish history, look at the artwork of a local artist or delve into a lesson about the Holocaust, our work cannot flourish without your support. I welcome my conversations with you and I cherish your innumerable efforts that help OJMCHE to do better every day.

OJMCHE thrives. And it will continue to thrive. My hope is that this 2022 Impact Report, reflecting our work through June 30, 2022, fills you with the same pride that fills all of us daily at OJMCHE. You inspire us to focus on reality and on “imagining possibilities beyond that reality.” We want your dreams to become our reality and we look forward to continuing this work together.
