Shabbat shalom and happy May Day! 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.

You can find all of our local community virtual services at the “Jewish Community Virtual Offerings” link below under “Events”. There is also a link to the list of online programs being offered by the Boulder JCC.

If you have something to entertain or engage people that you’d like to get out there, let us know!
