Weekly Edition: March 27th, 2020

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.

BJN is participating in weekly call with other Jewish organizations in Boulder as well as JEWISHcolorado, organized by the Boulder JCC. We are working out ways of efficiently getting information out to the community about opportunities to volunteer, participate, connect with physical distancing, and get help to people and organizations that need it during these challenging times. We will let you know as information becomes available.

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:

• Boulder JCC for the Jewish community
• Boulder County
• Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment
• Centers for Disease Control

Stay safe, stay warm, and have a great weekend.
