Hineinu Portland is a hub for Jewish engagement, learning, and community — housed at Leikam Brewing, a kosher brewery in the heart of Portland, Oregon. Rooted in the Hebrew word “Hineini” (“Here I am”), we create a welcoming space where Jewish life is authentic, joyful, and accessible — one pint, one story, and one moment of connection at a time.

Our Mission
To foster belonging and renewal in Portland’s Jewish community by blending learning, celebration, and connection in a setting that reflects the city’s creative and inclusive spirit. We believe Judaism comes alive when people show up — in person, in community, and in spirit — to learn, share, and build together.

Why a brewery?
Because in Portland, gathering over craft and conversation feels natural. Leikam Brewing, our brewery home is a Jewish space that’s open, inspiring, and deeply Portland. It’s more than a venue — it’s a symbol of what’s possible when Jewish life is rooted in presence, openness, and joy.

We aim to:
Gather: through Shabbat meals in the Brewery, Holiday Celebrations and Jewish Musical & Cultural Nights

Learn: through Classes, Storytelling Series and conversations on Ethics, Justice, and Identity. Challah baking and candle making.

Grow: through spiritual exploration through art, mindfulness, and dialogue.

Programs that Hineinu Portland holds aim to create a space to reflect, recharge, and reimagine Jewish life.

Our Values
Presence. Belonging. Curiosity. Joy.
