From honey pots to kugel, the Boulder JCC is offering fun and creative high holiday programs for all ages.
Family Programs
There are two opportunities to join us at our first family Rosh Hashanah program this Sunday, August 30, 9:30 – 10:30 am or 11:30 am – 12:30 pm. Join our beekeeper, Tzuria Malpica, who will explain the role of the beloved honey bee in food production and the sweet bi-product, honey. Our artist in residence, Joy Alice Eisenhauer, will then guide you on glazing and decorating your family’s one of a kind honey pot.
This program will be in-person at the Boulder JCC and follow all of the Boulder JCC’s Health and Safety Protocols. For more information and to register, please click here. Pre-registration is required for this event.
Tzuria will also lead a Virtual Farmside Shabbat: Rosh Hashanah Edition on Friday, September 11 at 9:30 am and 4 pm. She will open the farm hives and show us the busy bees in action. We’ll sing Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah songs and say the blessings for the apples and honey and even get to see the goats! To register for the 9:30 am or 4 pm program, please click here.
