Thoughts After Election Day

Jonathan Lev November 4, 2020 Guests and Blogs Comments Off on Thoughts After Election Day

The election outcome is still not clear today. Many of us may continue to feel stress and anxiety as the results unfold over the coming hours and days.

In this time of deep and painful division, we remain committed to working towards and creating the community we want to live in by leading with our values and by example. As we move forward together, we remind you that the JCC is your community, and we are here to welcome and support you.

We will continue to:

  • bring community together
  • cultivate joy
  • repair the world (tikkun olam) in our backyard
  • practice love and empathy

As we engage with our friends, families, and neighbors during this sensitive time, language is more important than ever. This year, we are again proud partners of Clean Speech Colorado, a month-long initiative in November raising awareness about the power of speech and its ability to build a more positive, respectful, and peaceful world. Your words are incredibly powerful, and you have the ability to support one another and help transform our community through language. Together, we can commit to the Jewish value of clean speech. To learn more, sign up to receive daily short videos and lessons in November.

We are here to support you by bringing our community together.

Together,

Jonathan Lev
Executive Director
Boulder JCC

Letter: On “Vegas Style Reporting Out of Israel”

We can’t rely on American newspapers to give us accurate information on Israel. But, in this Internet Age, we shouldn’t be relying solely on printed newspapers.

Column: Vegas-style Reporting Out of Israel

What is not fit to print is printed. What is fit to print is not printed. These are two glaring examples of what passes for coverage of Israel in two major daily newspapers. One publishes a distorted article, the other ignores significant news. A Jewish weekly even discards news that is important to its ethnic readership.
