Shabbat shalom! This weekend features several interesting events. Tonight is this summer’s last Shabbat Service at the Flagstaff Amphitheater as well as a Back to Shul service at Bonai Shalom. On Sunday, march with the Lemon Tree Group as they hold their annual Unity March. At Har Shalom in Fort Collins, Rabbi Joe Black is in concert, and Bonai Shalom holds their Homecoming Dance fundraiser. And on Monday afternoon and evening, ACE at the J presents “Ask Dr. Ruth“, a documentary about the legendary sex therapist, with a talk back with Dr. Jenni Skyler, our local practitioner.
