Congregation Kesser Israel

Adult level conversations and content in a friendly environment. You can see from all sides there is preparation of the place, the hospitality, a great place to chill, grow, and network.

Avery welcoming congregation. They were very helpful and friendly when we moved to Portland many years ago, and have become even more welcoming and friendly over the years. Guests always comment on the friendliness and uniqueness of the congregation.

Kesser Israel is an essential part of my life here in Portland. It is the most welcoming and warm congregation. The services are truly from the heart. Everyone feels welcome. There is real community and real loving support. .

I moved here just over 3 years ago and have felt very welcomed by the Kesser Community. What I love most about the community is its diversity and acceptance for all types of people from various backgrounds. I enjoy listening to Rabbi Brodkin's speech about the Parsha each week and appreciate all the hard work Jodi Fried puts in to keep the shul a happening place for families of all ages.
