Jewish Oasis

A more thoughtful way to experience each cup of the Seder.

At our Taste for Freedom evening, this companion was used alongside the four cups to frame each moment as part of a reflective journey - not just something we move through, but something we step into with greater depth and context.

Each cup carried a distinct focus: becoming present, understanding where we’ve come from, recognizing gratitude and purpose, and turning toward the future.

-

Designed for use at your own Seder table, these prompts create space within each cup - to slow down, to open conversation, and to experience the night not just as a story we tell, but as a process we move through.

Jewish Oasis is located in the heart of the Pearl in Portland.

It is part store, part space for Jewish connection. Whether you're looking for a Jewish item, a thoughtful idea, or want to ask a question and explore Judaism, this is the place to start. Stop by anytime.

Four Cups, Four Insights

Last night at the Jewish Oasis, we gathered to explore a new depth of the four cups of the Seder and prepare for Passover in a meaningful way. Sommelier Michael Perman introduced four premium kosher wines, guiding us through a tasting experience that mirrored the journey of the Seder.

Each wine was paired with an insight from Rabbi Motti Wilhelm, reflecting the stages of the four cups:

1. Where are we now?
2. Where have we come?
3. Celebrating growth
4. Looking toward the future

Guests savored each wine, connected to the flavor and inspiration of each cup, and experienced the Seder in a fresh, personal way. The evening was warm, inviting, and thoughtful - a chance to taste, reflect, and step into Passover with greater understanding and presence.
