Holidays

On January 20th, or 15 Shevat, we’ll be celebrating the new year for trees. Today the holiday is often celebrated as a sort of Jewish “earth day,” connecting the new year for the trees to current environmental issues of our time.

A final Chanukah post, a poem, for 2018/5779.

This year, the Boulder County Center for Judaism has selected former concierge and marketing director for the Boulder Jewish Community Center, Michael Rosensweig, as the Lafayette Lamplighter to kindle the Giant Menorah on the last night of Chanukah.

‘Don’t let the lights….see your wallet.’ In the prayer recited after lighting, there is a phrase: ‘these candles are holy and we have no permission to use them.’

In a tradition that gains traction and attendees each year, the Boulder County Center for Judaism is bringing the largest menorah in Boulder County to Lafayette again this year.

This year’s Louisville Lamplighters are Adam and Dani Sloat, who returned after living out-of-state for many years and jumped right into giving their time and enthusiasm to the Louisville Jewish community.

Join us at Boulder Center for Judaism on Friday night of Chanukah, December 7 and enjoy a delicious Shabbos dinner with the traditional Chanukah trimmings.

Come watch your peers get up and give fast-paced, thought-provoking, 5-minute TED-talk-style presentations on their passions. 

Join us as we honor Louisville Lamplighters Adam and Dani Sloat in Louisville at WinterSkate!

Post Rosh Hashanah may seem like a strange time to go to an off-beat movie. But after the fact, seeing Alpha did feel seasonally appropriate.

Participants will enjoy an evening of singing, eating, and making merry “in the hut” with an ‘adult’ twist.

The Homewood Suites in Boulder, CO has provided a discounted rate for those staying during the holidays or other times throughout the year near the Synagogues.

What does it mean that Hazon is the Jewish lab for sustainability?
