Shabbat shalom! Don’t forget, Har HaShem dedicates their Margolis Family Campus this Saturday and invites the community. Then, on Sunday, please join the Moral Minyan at the ICE Detention Center in Aurora to protest continued abuse of migrant families and children at the southern border.

Also this weekend, the Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies holds its multi-day annual conference starting Sunday.

BJN reader Miriam Paisner would like to offer a talk on “Jews in Polynesia” (including Hawaii) to any interested group around the community. More info here.
