Shabbat shalom! As we approach the yahrzheit of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, founder of Renewal Judaism and long-time Boulder resident, both Congregation Nevei Kodesh (Jewish Renewal) and the Boulder Center for Judaism (Chabad Lubavitch) are planning events this weekend in his honor and memory.
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!
