Just another day at the office… plus a couple of arm bandages! 🩹

Team Bonai took a little time today to roll up our sleeves and give blood. Doing a simple mitzvah together is always better with a coworker by your side!

Huge thanks to the staff at the donation center for taking great care of us. Who’s joining us for the next blood drive? 🩸

What does it take to build a holy community? ✨

Tonight, we’re staying up late to honor an ancient Shavuot tradition of learning together, but we’re also turning the spotlight on the quiet, often invisible work that holds us all together. From delivering meals to showing up in times of grief—this is the heartbeat of our community.

Come to the Boulder JCC tonight to listen, learn, and celebrate the incredible volunteers and leaders who do this work every day. 🤍

Strength is built in community.

Yesterday, our very own Rabbi Marc Soloway spoke with 9NEWS about how we are moving forward together in the wake of the Pearl Street tragedy. We are grateful for his leadership as we continue to move forward with heavy hearts, but a steady resolve.

Justice came on Thursday for the man who set Pearl Street marchers on fire. But for survivors, a rabbi says the healing is just beginning.
