Hi everybody!

My name is David Nash. My wife Aviva & I landed in Porto on September 1st. We are both born & raised in NYC, lived about 30 years there, then another 30 in Portland, Oregon. We moved to London in Jan 2022 where we lived until May of this year, while I was still working full-time. We have 3 adult kids (+1 grand kid) who live in the greater Boston area and NYC.

We're excited for our new chapter here in Portugal. Thanks, Sharon, for welcoming us into the community, and we look forward to meeting you all at some point. It was quite an adventure finding Hanukkah candles for us this first time, but we found a solution.

Hello! My wife and I will be visiting Porto Oct. 22-26, The events page shows the next services are Nov. 21, but I'm wondering if there will be a Shabbat service or other event in October that just hasn't made it onto the calendar yet?

Thank you and Happy New Year,

Tod Harrick

We are in Porto for a month and are considering moving to Porto/Portugal, at least part-time, after retirement. I would love if we could have a coffee or glass of wine/beer with anyone who lives in the area and is willing to share their experiences, good and bad. We are very flexible as to place and time. We have a Air BnB by the Trinidad station. My European phone number is +33 7 72 43 86 78

Short of that, my email is amyefried@gmail.com, if you want to send me your thoughts via email.

We are also looking for recommendations for things to do/see off the beaten path including museums, walks, places to hear fado and enjoy other local music and/or dance (we are…
