To our Colorado Community:

We are deeply saddened and sickened by the senseless mass shooting last night at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Police now say five people were killed and 25 injured, and that the incident is being investigated as a hate crime. The suspect was apprehended, and based on police reports, was subdued by patrons.

JEWISHcolorado, the Jewish Community Relations Council, and our community partners, including the Anti-Defamation League, Rose Community Foundation, Rocky Mountain Rabbis and Cantors, and numerous LGBTQ organizations, are all working together to provide support and resources to help those grieving, and to bring our community together at this painful time.

We know in this and other incidents that training has been critical to preventing further loss of life. Training is provided at no cost to affinity groups, houses of worship, and nonprofit organizations through JEWISHcolorado’s Safety & Security Initiative. For resources available, please find contact information on the following links: JEWISHcolorado, ADL.

Event Details

On May 30^th, at 6:30 PM, Hillel Academy will host their 70th Anniversary Gala Dinner, at the BMH-BJ social hall. The theme of this year’s dinner is “Journeys: 70 Years of Leading Us into Tomorrow”. The community is invited to join Hillel Academy for an elegant evening of inspiration, delicious food, and musical entertainment, that is sure to be an unforgettable and unique opportunity to celebrate seven decades of success.

Hillel Academy is thrilled to have internationally renowned singer Shulem Lemmer as the live entertainment for the evening. Raised in Boro Park, Brooklyn, Shulem’s voice has gained widespread attention throughout the world. Shulem made history as the first born-and-raised Orthodox singer to sign a major record deal in the U.S. His contract with Universal Music’s Decca Gold Label launched him as an artist to a global audience.

This year, Hillel Academy will honor Mr. Lewis Abrams for 50 years of dedicated service in teaching. Mr. Abrams has spent fifty years educating well over 1,000 children, consistently teaching foundational skills in Hebrew, Chumash and Tefilla – skills that form the basis of a lifetime of successful learning for his students. At Hillel Academy’s 70th anniversary dinner, it is appropriate to pay tribute to Mr. Lewis Abrams as he ends his illustrious career the way he started it – humbly and with much devotion to his students.

Hillel Academy looks forward to welcoming you to this special event and celebrating 70 years of journeys together! Tickets to the dinner can be purchased online at www.haod.org/dinner-reservations/ or by calling 303-333-1511.
