Run for their lives Denver group will gather at Washington Park (east entrance) for a short ceremony and 1 mile walk around the park to mark one year anniversary of the Oct 7th massacre and advocate for the release of the 101 hostages still in Gaza. 

This is an ongoing event. We have been walking in Boulder, CO since Thanksgiving 2023 to show solidarity for the plight of the hostages still being held in Gaza. We will continue to walk until all hostages are released.

As October 7th approaches, we reflect on a year of ongoing conflict, with Israel still at war and our hostages remaining in Gaza.

These are challenging times we never imagined.

We invite you to join us on October 6th for a gathering of commemoration and support.

Together, we will hear from two IDF soldiers visiting from Israel, share our own stories, and sing in unity.

This is a time to come together, to find strength in our community, and to support one another.

השביעי לאוקטובר מתקרב אלינו, צמד המילים הזה אוחז בתוכו טראומה לכולנו.

אף אחד לא דמיין מצב בו ישראל תהיה במלחמה כל כך ארוכה, והחטופים שלנו עוד נמצאים בעזה.

אתם מוזמנים להצטרף ב 6 לאוקטובר (יום ראשון) למפגש בעברית בו ניפגש עם שני חיילים שהגיעו מהארץ,

נשמע את הסיפורים שלהם, נחלוק ביחד את ההסיפורים שלנו , ונסיים בשירה משותפת .

זה הזמן שלנו לשבת ביחד ולתמוך האחד בשני.

Join us at the JCC Denver on Monday, October 7 from 4:30 – 6:00 pm for an October 7 Commemoration as we come together as a community one year after the events on October 7, 2023 in Israel. Bring your families, children, parents, partners, and friends as we sing and create a collaborative art project together. Drinks and snacks will be provided. This program is free and open to all, although registration is required to attend. We hope you can participate as we continue to support one another during this turbulent time.

Time: 4:30 – 6:00 pm (Singing begins at 4:45 pm)

Location: Phillips Social Hall at the JCC Denver

In partnership with JEWISHcolorado, PJ Library, and JEWISHcolorado’s Jewish Explorers.

October 7, 2024, will mark one year since Hamas launched its attacks on Israel, murdering more than 1,200 people, kidnapping more than 250 others, unleashing alarming rates of antisemitism, and changing our lives forever.

This is going to be a challenging moment to mark in our community, in our homes, and in Israel. We will unite to support each other with reflection, song, poetry, and prayer. We acknowledge that we hold so many emotions at the same time around this day, including grief, anger, fear, mourning, remembrance, and hope.

Everyone is invited to come together for connection, support, quiet contemplation, reflection, and remembering those we have lost—this program partners with Haver: Rabbinic Council, IAC Israeli American Council, and the Boulder JCC.

Community members are invited to stay at the JCC to sing together after the ceremony. In Israel, it is a tradition to come together in song at times of joy and sadness. Music is a powerful tool, and each song reflects the moment. The songs will be available in Hebrew with transliteration and English translation. This will be a more informal part of the program until 9:30 pm.

Doors open at 6:15 for community connection and quiet contemplation. Program 7:00-8:15 pm

We will also be livestreaming this program for those who can not attend in person.

Monday, October 7 | 5- 9:30 pm | FREE

October 7, 2024, will mark one year since Hamas launched its attacks on Israel, murdering more than 1,200 people, kidnapping more than 250 others, and unleashing alarming rates of antisemitism, and changing our lives forever.

What hasn’t changed is our Jewish community’s undeniable strength and resilience.

This October 7, join JEWISHcolorado and many partner organizations for an afternoon of age-appropriate family activities at the Staenberg-Loup JCC, and an evening, community-wide gathering to mark this moment at Temple Emanuel, to be inspired, and look toward a brighter future together. Registration is required.

Boulder Conversations with Extraordinary People is back at the Boulder Museum. Join us for the 12th season of our well-loved speaker series. This series highlights the innovative people whose connection with our city makes Boulder the remarkable community that it is today. This season’s theme is diversity and partnership, and we have chosen to collaborate with eight diverse Boulder organizations that have all made immense contributions to the living history of our community. Each speaker will tell their personal story, life journey, and work for about 60mins followed by 30mins of Q&A.

The Boulder JCC is thrilled to partner with the Boulder Museum to present Marion Kreith. Marion was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1927. As a Holocaust survivor, her childhood was marked by antisemitism, uncertainty, disruption, the detention of her father, war, and ultimately escape from Germany to Belgium…France… Cuba…and finally, to the United States. Marion and her husband Frank moved to Boulder in 1959. Marion will share stories from her amazing journey and how they shaped her life.

This program will be at the Museum of Boulder at Tebo Center, 2205 Broadway Boulder, CO 80302.

Chef Alexis Sicklick, an NYC-based chef, is coming to Denver for a one-night-only event celebrating the best of Colorado’s fall bounty! Alexis is the chef and founder of Syncopated, through which she hosts vegetable-forward pop-up dinners with a rhythmical flair. Having trained at well-known restaurants including Dirt Candy, Aquavit, and Balaboosta, Alexis has a comprehensive culinary foundation from which she pulls to execute her unique tasting menus. For this autumnal feast, with it being the peak of the season, Chef Alexis created a menu that pays homage to some fantastic fall activities and holidays that bring so much nostalgic delight at this time of year. Think pumpkin picking, hayrides, Rosh Hashanah, Halloween, candy apples, and sweater weather – all of these themes and more serve as the inspiration behind the six courses that make up this delectable dining advent.

Temple Sinai & Steve Demby present:

The Progressive Case for Israel featuring Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY). Due to security, pre-registration for this event is required by Thursday, October 17.

For questions or help with registration, contact Debbie Foster at debbie@sinaidenver.org.

A second-term member, Rep. Ritchie Torres has quickly emerged as an outspoken champion of the U.S.-Israel relationship. In April 2024, Torres voted for supplemental security assistance for the Jewish state. He also co-sponsored and supported a resolution affirming U.S. support for Israel after Hamas’ barbaric attack on October 7th and stated:

“Israelis are doing precisely what we, as Americans, would do if we found ourselves under sudden attack: defending themselves. I unequivocally stand with Israel as it rightly defends itself from Hamas, a terrorist organization that has long sought the destruction of the Jewish State.”

The Congressman has backed legislation imposing sanctions on people that aid efforts by the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans or Israelis and backed a letter denouncing South Africa’s accusation of genocide against Israel before the International Court of Justice. Before October 7th, he also signed on to a bipartisan letter asking the Secretary of State to come up with a comprehensive strategy to address Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and support for terrorism with additional sanctions and diplomacy and joined another letter urging the House Appropriations Committee to reject any additional conditions on security assistance to Israel.

In February 2022, Congressman Torres traveled to Israel with AIPAC’s sister foundation and has returned several times since, including once since after the October 7 attack by Hamas. Congressman Torres is a member of the Committee on Financial Services and the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.

As it is customary to sit in the Sukkah with friends for a meal, we invite teens and their parents to join us at the JCC Sukkah. Teens will hang out together and enjoy sushi while parents have a farm tour and get to know each other. Then we will switch and teens will enjoy the farm, while parents have a sushi dinner. We hope this will be a good opportunity to connect with new and old friends while celebrating Sukkot, learning about the holiday, and enjoying the Milk & Honey Farm.

The Colorado Hebrew Chorale invites the community to join us for our annual Evening of Singing in the Sukkah, Monday, Oct. 21, 2024, 7:30 – 9 p.m., at the Hebrew Educational Alliance – Rain or Shine! This program, which is free and open to the public, includes holiday favorites in Hebrew and Yiddish, the beloved tribute to Allan Sherman (“Hello, Muddah, Hello Faddah”), and special surprise guests! RSVP no later than Sunday, Oct. 20, so there are plenty of snacks!
