Co/Lab’s mission is to help foster the next iteration of Jewish life in Portland, hosting programs that examine issues of personal meaning and social change through a Jewish lens.

The “Co” part is important: It’s a reflection of our commitment to bring people together to dream, experiment and collaborate so as to create events of the greatest interest and relevance to our community.

We have an inclusive and non-judgmental approach to Judaism. We want to open the door wide to all those who seek to explore Jewish identity and ideas in new and innovative ways. And above all, we trust in curiosity, collaboration, and experimentation to lead us to new vistas and connections.
