Shabbat shalom! We’ve officially made it halfway through 2021. What a year it has been, and it’s only half over.
BJN welcomes new advertiser “Ali Roth Writes” with a 4 Questions interview. If you need a new resume, Ali could be your go-to solution. The Boulder JCC announced their second Summer Outdoor Movie event, “When Harry Met Sally” next Thursday night.
And on a serious note, if setting a Canadian all-time heat record for three days in a row this week wasn’t enough, the very next day, Lytton, BC literally burned to the ground. Our hearts go out to the 1,000 people who had to evacuate there with very little notice, as we’ve certainly known our own wildfire problems here in Colorado. Of course, we also send our condolences to those who lost loved ones in the Chamberlain Towers South building collapse in Surfside, FL.
Stay cool, stay safe, stay healthy!
