About the Speaker:
A key leader of Portland’s Jewish community, Rabbi Cahana has led a steady response to poverty in the region, including using the building where he works to host people experiencing homelessness when the weather turns dangerous.
“Hebrew teaching on welcoming the stranger and caring for the widow and orphan is the supporting structure for Western culture’s finest moments,” says Natalie Wood, executive director of Catholic Charities of Oregon. “We at Catholic Charities realize that our programs and advocacy must remain true to these foundational principles – ideas that Jesus knew, cherished and taught — for our work to be effective.”
