Shabbat shalom!  A couple of reminders about things going on this week: Sunday is the Colorado Jewish Food Fest, and Wednesday is the celebration of Israel’s 70th birthday!

Also, the latest once-a-decade study of Jewish life and people in the Denver Metro area has commenced.  Read all about it here, and be sure to take the online survey and answer the survey call if they pick you!
