Kitah Zayin Visits Portland - Yavneh Day School

Posted October 31, 2025

Kitah Zayin is having a very meaningful journey in Portland, OR. Students have been reflecting on the things in their lives they take for granted that the residents of the two communities they visited struggle to provide. The students talked about electricity, running water, bathrooms, electronics, and heat. Also one student met one of the residents who makes his money by collecting cans. She organized our group of students to save the recyclables from their meals and bring those to the house of the resident she met. We can’t wait to hear more stories and reflections like this one once they are back!
