Shabbat shalom! Tonight was opening night of our own local production of “Fiddler on the Roof” at the Dairy Arts Center. Kudos to our own Tevye, Rabbi Marc Soloway, and Director/Producer Sarah Nowak on a fabulous production, featuring a local cast and crew with lots of Boulder Jewish community faces. The show has a sold-out run of eight performances coming up through January 25th.
In September, we began a new column with Rabbi Charna Rosenholtz, who is offering a 12-part column exploring the spiritual and psychological wisdom of each Hebrew month. Drawing from Torah, Kabbalah, Mussar, and seasonal awareness, each installment highlights core themes, practices, and reflections to help ground us in sacred time. Join us on this monthly journey through the Jewish calendar. The most recent post is about the current month of Tevet.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with our brothers and sisters under attack in Australia, the UK, 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!
