Shabbat Shalom! There seems to be growing attention to the worsening situation in Gaza, and this week’s opinion submissions reflect that.
In Boulder on Sunday, the weekly Run For Their Lives walk for the remaining hostages will take place for the 89th week, on Tisha B’Av, beginning at 10:30 am at Pearl and 8th streets. There will be security accompanying the walk.
Here is Morah Yehudis‘ take on this week’s Torah Portion.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Israel, Ukraine, and in Boulder. May the remaining injured from June 1’s attack have a refuah shlemah, a full and complete recovery. Am Yisrael Chai!
