West of the Cascades and South of the Portland Metro Area, in the agricultural heart of the Willamette Valley, you may have heard rumors about...

The Woodburn Jewish Commune!

[welcome to woodburn]

For many years, Jacob Rosenblum has been itching to start an intentional community in the Northwest. Recently, that has coalesced into a vision of a Jewish Commune shared by his good buddy David Zenaty, and we picked a place: Woodburn, OR.

In the coming year, we will come together with a group of people, and go to work building our connection to the lands and peoples of this area. We are looking for four more people to join our core group.

The simplest way to state the intention of the Woodburn Jewish Commune:

For Jews to experience full lives together,
    and build relationships with people of color as Jews.

We are currently building a core group, the second chapter of our creation story.
