Shabbat shalom! It’s hard to believe that the High Holidays are only a week away! The Boulder County Center for Judaism has opened registration for their Rosh Hashanah dinner, as well as taking orders for their Lulav and Etrog Sukkot sets (right around the corner too). They are also raising money for the completion of their new Center on Jay Road — contact Rabbi Scheiner if you’d like to help at 303-494-1638.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country.
Stay cool, stay safe and stay healthy!
