Shabbat shalom! After a balmy January, it seems winter has returned to the Front Range. Check out how a bunch of Bonai Shalom families celebrated here.
Tu B’Shevat, the festival of trees, is this Sunday night. Right now, their branches are holding a lot of fresh snow! Organizations all over the world are planting trees to help our planet breathe. JTree is an international Jewish climate initiative with the goal to plant one million trees in the US, partnering with the National Forest Foundation. Details here. Plant through onetreeplanted.org here. Or JNF here.
The Boulder JCC is hosting a Tu B’Shevat celebration on Sunday! JNF is in on the action as well, with yoga and a sweepstakes.
Jerry Pinsker will give a talk about ADL’s No Place for Hate campaign on February 23rd.
Stay warm, and have a great weekend and a busy week. Enjoy!
