Weekly Edition: November 15th, 2024

Shabbat shalom. The weekly walk in support of the hostages on Sunday continues, this week honoring the ten foreign citizens who remain hostages in Gaza today.

The Boulder Jewish Film Festival wraps up this weekend – hope you’ve had a chance to see some of the great films presented.
