Weekly Edition: October 25th, 2019

Shabbat shalom! Looking for something to do with your kids on Saturday? The Boulder Symphony is offering a family “curiosity concert” at the Boulder JCC at 3:30 — and the kids are free! And for a different kind of music event, come by the J on Sunday 7:00 pm to celebrate Jewish songsmiths of the Motown era.

Stay warm or cool, depending on when you read this (that’s Colorado weather for you), and have a great weekend. Enjoy!
