Shabbat shalom. Boulder Jewish News mourns the passing last weekend of one of our regular/irregular contributors, Henry Rasof, z”l. Henry contributed poems and Purim spiels to the BJN, and wrote about his interest in crypto-Jews of the Southwest as well. He was honored by the Boulder County Center for Judaism as the Chanukah Lamplighter in Louisville in 2019. There will be a memorial for him in Boulder sometime in May, and we’ll be sure to publicize it. May his memory be for a blessing.
Our thoughts and prayers also continue to be with brothers and sisters under attack this week in Israel, and in Ukraine, recently home to roughly 300,000 Jews.
Stay warm, stay safe and stay healthy!
