Shabbat shalom! Tonight, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will be speaking at Congregation Bonai Shalom’s First Friday series after services. His topic is “Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue.”
BJN and its staff also wish Cantorial Soloist Holli Berman of Congregation Har HaShem a very happy 50th birthday as her twins prepare to go off to college. Mazel tov on the milestone(s)!
Keep an eye on this space as the BJN is working on an easy way for readers to submit their own lifecycle event posts — births, marriages, big birthdays or anniversaries, passings.
Stay cool, and have a great weekend. Here are this week’s posts:
