The Boulder Jewish Film Festival returns for its 14th celebration of world cinema October 25 - November 1 at the Dairy Arts Center. Tickets go on sale October 9.

Women take center stage in many of this year’s selections. Yiddish poet Aliza Greenblatt finally gets her due in our opening night film, “Dust Bowls and Jewish Souls.” Better known as Woody Guthrie’s mother-in-law, she was a major talent in her own right and had a huge influence on her famous folk-singing son-in-law’s music and personal life.

Before the film, enjoy a reception with live klezmer music and the food Aliza would have served Woody (and Arlo and Nora) in her Coney Island home.

Mussar + Art= Mussart with Rabbi Eva Sax-Bolder

Are you seeking to live with greater consciousness and mindfulness, both in your actions and thoughts? After journeying through the High Holidays, it is time to put our intentions into practice.

This class will focus on the attribute of tender curiosity, exploring ways we intend to bring our practices into the new year. We begin with spiritual grounding and text study, then move to art-making using a variety of selected materials. No artistic experience is necessary, as we will use simple art techniques and supplies to explore our relationship through this spiritual pathway.

This program is open to anyone with curiosity and a willingness to explore. All materials will be provided.

Wednesday, October 7 | 5:30 - 7 pm | $42

Huge congratulations to our Executive Director, Jonathan Lev, on receiving the Josie Heath Nonprofit Leadership Award at today’s Community Foundation Boulder County () Friends Luncheon!

A true honor to be recognized alongside such incredible community leaders dedicated to volunteerism, advocacy, and community impact, and it is especially meaningful to accept the award from Josie Heath herself, an enduring inspiration to us all.

Fall after-school activities are in full swing! The Boulder Maccabees have been having fun learning teamwork and soccer skills with Instructor Jordan Etter.

The Marketing Team recently joined them at the end of practice to play Sharks and Minnows. They had a blast playing together!

We had an incredible turnout at the Messinger Gallery Artist Opening with .abbott.art - It was a night full of incredible conversations, connections, and inspiration. Come to the Boulder JCC and tour Kristen Abbott's work; all is for sale!
