About
Rabbi Eli and Chaya Citron (along with their daughter Leah) moved to Portland in the fall of 2022 to establish Chabad on Campus SW Portland.

We are a Jewish Student Center serving the Jewish community in the urban Colleges throughout SW Portland, including Portland State University, Oregon Health and Science University, and Portland Community College, with the main focus being on Lewis and Clark.

We accept every Jew. Whether you're religious or not affiliated at all, whether you eat a bagel with lox every day, or have never heard of pastrami on rye, we're here for you.

Our goal is to support the Jewish student community by providing opportunities to get in touch with our heritage. Including educational classes, holiday programming, communal experiences, Jewish retreats, and sometimes just being a listening ear. We are your one stop shop for everything Jewish!

This website is under construction, so stay tuned, subscribe to our mailing list, and follow us on Instagram for the latest updates. instagram.com/jewish_and_clark

Daily Thought
Cursed and Blessed
There are forty-nine gates of human understanding. The fiftieth gate is entirely beyond any living being. It is so high that, looking down from there, all things are equally nothing. There is no good, no evil, nothing can be added or taken away, the righteous are dust, the wicked are dust, nothing is of consequence, all is but dust. That is why Haman erected a gallows fifty cubits high upon which to hang Mordechai. To say: G-d does not care. He is beyond all these things. There is no good or evil, it is all a fiction of the petty human mind. Drunk with the joy of Purim, a Jew soars higher and yet higher until he reaches that gate. Upon...
