Shabbat Shalom!
In Boulder on Sunday, the weekly Run For Their Lives walk for the remaining hostages will take place for the 92nd week, beginning at 10:30 am in front of the Courthouse. 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!
