Shabbat shalom! The Boulder Jewish Film Festival continues through Sunday, November 13th. And now that the election is (mostly) behind us, we can take a deep breath (and clean out our email inboxes).
Also, a heartfelt thank you to all our veterans, Jewish and not, for their service to our country and for protecting our freedoms.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country.
Stay warm, stay safe and stay healthy!
