Shabbat shalom! Wednesday night saw a fabulous Celebration of Israel party at the Boulder JCC, with spirits hardly dampened by the wet weather. Check out our album of pictures here, or the short slide show on our home page. Last Sunday, Har HaShem held their Harmony+Hops event and Nevei their Broadway to Boulder event in decidedly better weather.
On Tuesday night, there is an interesting visit from the director of the Krakow Jewish Community Center to the Boulder Jewish Community Center to discuss Jewish life in Poland and the Ride of the Living. Check it out.
Meanwhile, enjoy our winter spring, and here are this week’s posts:
