Jewish music made by hand in Portland, Oregon

Beth Hamon

High Holy Days 5777 (2016): With Summer winding down, we turn to one of the most important seasons in the Jewish year. The High Holy Days are coming soon! If you'll be in Portland, Oregon for Selichot (Sept 24), Rosh Hashanah (Oct 2-4) and/or Yom Kippur (Oct 11-12) and don't have a community to welcome the New year of the Soul with,  let me personally invite you to join me and a really sweet, liberal-egalitarian community called Havurah Shalom.  We'll observe Selichot at Havurah Shalom in our cozy sanctuary. For Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we'll gather at the historic Tiffany Center in downtown Portland. Don't have a prayerbook or a tallit? No problem. Borrow one of ours, and come join us. From the beginning, back in 1978, Havurah Shalom has welcomed any Jew who wants to come pray at the New year free of charge -- no tickets or membership required.
For more info, check out the schedule of services and please know you'll be warmly welcomed!

If you didn't get to Seattle over Memorial Day Weekend, here's a link to my very live set at the Northwest Folklife Festival. Go, listen and enjoy!

Tour dates for 2016-18 are being booked! Dates are still available in March and May 2017. Also now booking for 2018. To get your community on board, use the CONTACT form.

"There's nothing else like it! It's bright acoustic pop and folk, performed with hearty, honest joy... it's inspired, and inspiring." -- Victory Review
"Hamon's music is an idiosyncratic blend of folk, roots, old time string band and pop, with an irrepressible energy..." -- Oregon Jewish Life
“Very melodic! Beth Hamon takes a fresh, hip approach to contemporary Jewish Music.” -- Cantor Wally Schachet-Briskin
