Shabbat shalom! Another busy posting week, with the High Holidays fast approaching. Check our High Holidays page for all the latest posts.
September also marks Boulder Jewish News’ 10th Anniversary, and we are planning several special stories and pages to celebrate! This week, our Israel correspondent, Shaul Amir, posts New Years greetings, and our pop culture correspondent, Lauren Fellows, posts a story about the Jewish arc of a Japanese video game character, Sandalphon. You are, in fact, reading our 6,576th post since starting out in the fall of 2009. Enjoy!
Finally, the Boulder Jewish Men’s Group is hosting a co-ed dinner with speaker Jeremy Shaver of the ADL this Thursday night September 26th. It should be interesting and timely – RSVP today.
Stay cool, and have a great weekend. Here are this week’s posts:
