As if the start of the MoVeRs program hadn’t “ramped up” programming in Boulder, this week begins the Festival of Books and Culture at the Boulder JCC. Have you had a chance to check out the Boulder-based community calendar, BoulderJews.org? The site was designed and created by Jeff Finkelstein, founder of the website development company, Customer Paradigm, and husband of Rabbi Jamie Korngold, founder of the Adventure Rabbi program. Boulder Jewish News links directly to BoulderJews.org so there is no redundancy. The calendar compiles the separate calendars of 20 local organizations into one place, where you can view a month-at-a-glance, details for one or all organizations, day-at-a-glance, and even details for the programs. Some of the highlights for this week include:
Festival of Books and Culture (these programs are at the Boulder JCC, 3800 Kalmia):
- Doll Tea Party Sunday 11/1 (sold out)
- “Search For Me with All Your Hearts” art show, wine and cheese reception, Sunday 11/1 at 5:30
- The film “Refusenik”, Sunday 11/1 at 7 pm
- Book Fair – click here for hours
Some highlights of other programs and activities – links have more details, please check the calendar also.
- MoVeRs programs at 12:30 and 7 on Monday, both at CU
- Author of “The Accidental Zionist” speaking at Aish Kodesh, Monday 11/2 at 7 pm.

And a few notable programs in Denver, with the Mayor of Jerusalem: Tuesday night at DU, and Wednesday at the Denver Art Museum.
Whew! If you plan to attend any of these programs, dear readers, would you kindly help inform the community by contributing a note, comment or review?

This is a nice service. But it's too bad you didn't list any of the talks in Boulder this week by Gershon Baskin — at least one of the talks is at CU and is co-sponsored by ISIME. Perhaps you can connect with them so that you can announce future Boulder programs in the calendar. Thanks.
Thank you for that catch! We had written about the Gershon Baskin talks earlier this month, on October 14, including links to ISIME. We've now updated the "Busy Week" article so that it includes a link. We'll reach out to ISIME to see if they can connect with BoulderJews.org to have their events pulled into the community calendar. Again, thank you for your feedback!
