The shofar's absence on Rosh Hashanah coinciding with Shabbat illustrates deep spiritual lessons about repentance, divine mercy, and the importance of Shabbat, suggesting transformative potential for the New Year.

Join our Rosh Hashanah celebrations, including festive meals, services, and activities under the stars and in the park. RSVP for details and participation.

To accommodate those who would otherwise not participate in formal Rosh Hashanah synagogue services, Rabbi Scheiner of Boulder Center for Judaism is promoting a brief, open-to-all, Rosh Hashanah ceremony that includes the primary observances of the holiday. There will be a special activity for kids and a small holiday gift takeaway.

Every morning during the month of Elul, leading us into the New Year, it is traditional to blow and hear the shofar whose voice is supposed to wake us up to our mission.

This Sunday, August 26, join Rabbi Marc Soloway and Betsy Kessler of Congregation Bonai Shalom for a Shofar Hike.   

Why do we blow the Shofar on Rosh HaShanah?

The Sloats are to be honored for a long and varied list of contributions to the Boulder Jewish community.

The Boulder JCC was transformed into a full blown shofar factory on Wednesday... going so far as to operate two shifts.

Wednesday night's Shofar Factory program sold out. An additional night has been added!

JT21 (Jews Together in the 21st Century) held two public, community Shofar-blowing events in Boulder on Rosh Hashanah afternoon. Picture/video.
