Shabbat shalom! As a people and as a community, we are showing our resilience and ingenuity. You can find many online shabbat resources, both local and far afield, for streaming services or guides to davening alone.
In this week’s BJN edition, we of course have Kathryn Bernheimer’s guide to Jewish films available for streaming, as well as a few virtual talkbacks scheduled to discuss. Rabbi Korngold has recorded a video of her daughters reading one of her children’s books, a famous Israeli artist is hosting a virtual concert on Sunday, and that’s just the beginning. If you have something to entertain or engage people that you’d like to get out there, let us know!
Meanwhile, here are sources that will have the most up-to-date information about COVID-19 in Boulder and Colorado:
Stay safe, stay warm, and have a great weekend.
