Shabbat shalom! Sunday night at the Boulder JCC, there will be a screening and discussion of a new Leonard Bernstein documentary. And don’t forget, Monday is the CU Jewish Studies 2024 Holocaust Remembrance Day Lecture, by guest scholar Dr. Mark Roseman. “How Ordinary Were the Ordinary Men: The Puzzle of Perpetration in the Holocaust.” And Thursday, February 1st kicks off JDAIM with a Community Learning Event.
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!
