Shabbat shalom! Morah Yehudis Fishman will be talking about her new book and other spiritual topics on Monday night at the JCC. On Wednesday, Bruce Shaffer will be hosting a virtual talk with Israeli survivors and evacuees on Wednesday morning.
Be sure to read what the Boulder JCC has planned for Purim. The Men of the J monthly Breakfast has shifted to an 8:30 am start on the second Wednesday of the month; the March edition will be this Wednesday on March 13th at 8:30 am at Doug’s Diner.
Our thoughts and prayers are once again with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and the women of this country.
Stay warm, stay safe and stay healthy. Am Yisrael Chai!
