Shabbat shalom! We joyously celebrate the rescue and homecoming of four of the 120 hostages remaining in Gaza last Saturday. Am Yisrael Chai! We also welcome the new subscribers that we met at last week’s Boulder Jewish Festival.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
