Shir Tikvah will have a set available to say the blessings over at Sukkot morning Tefilah October 17.

Parking
Street parking is limited. On evenings and weekends you may use the lot located at 25th and Sandy. Carpooling is encouraged. If you have limited mobility, a drop-off area will be available curbside near the front door.
Taking public transit is a mitzvah! Tri-Met bus 12 goes up and down Sandy Blvd, our stop is #5066. The 12 runs between the Parkrose Transit Center (~200 parking spaces, 22 min. from Shir Tikvah) and the Barbur Transit Center (~400 parking spaces, 32 min. from Shir Tikvah). Regular adult fare is $2.80, much more affordable than Uber or Lyft! Fare payment info
