Weekly Edition: July 14th, 2023

Shabbat shalom! As we head into the heart of the summer, there are several outdoor-oriented programs coming up from the Boulder JCC, including hikes, a newcomer’s program, and Shabbats in the Park. Check them out!

For those of you who do not yet participate in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, Red Wagon Farms still has some memberships available for the remainder of this season. Pick ups are at the Boulder JCC, Congregation Nevei Kodesh, and two other locations!

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country.

Stay dry, stay safe and stay healthy!
