Shabbat shalom! Congratulations to the Boulder Jewish organizations, their leaders and donors that were honored by Rose Community Foundation on Tuesday evening for meeting their year one “Live On!” Legacy Giving goals: Congregation Bonai Shalom, Congregation Har HaShem, Congregation Nevei Kodesh, and the Boulder JCC.

This week looks like another busy one for Jewish Boulder: Sunday April 7 has the Colorado Jewish Food Fest and the Symposium for Spirituality and Environment; Wednesday April 10 has the Foxes reading from Liz’s book at Har HaShem and a discussion on Jewish Pluralism in Israel, and Thursday morning is the Boulder Jewish Mens Breakfast.
