Shabbat shalom! A big weekend coming up — Saturday night, Boulder JCC’s gala, Reflections, will be held at the JCC for the first time ever. And if you’re in Denver, there’s a lighter event occuring at the Denver JCC: the Sklar Brothers in concert.
And if you are looking for Jewish company to ski with this weekend, Saturday is Shabbat on Skis with Adventure Rabbi, and Sunday is the YAD Ski Day at Arapahoe Basin.
Meanwhile, stay warm, and here are this week’s posts:
