The Oregon State Legislature has officially congratulated Congregation Neveh Shalom on our 150th anniversary.
The process involved three stages: a reading of the resolution in front of the Senate Rules Committee to recommend adoption by the Senate, a vote from the Senate to adopt the resolution, and final signature by the Governor.

On the day the resolution was introduced, Rabbi Kosak had the honor of giving an invocation to open the full senate, in which he asked for support from these leaders to become “healers of democracy” by reaching across the aisle to model connection and cooperation. Rabbi Kosak implored, “As they deliberate on policies and laws to further the noble project of America, guide them to seek not only solutions, but pathways of respect wide enough so that every citizen can follow and find a place to walk.”
