SUPPORT

JEWISHcolorado
JEWISHcolorado operates the Israel Emergency Fund. All emergency dollars will go to support efforts on the ground in Israel, aiding victims of terror, addressing trauma issues, and assisting with emergency medical and infrastructure needs.

Additional funds that have been set up in support:

 
RUN FOR THEIR LIVES
Run for Their Lives organizes global run/walk events calling for the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas. Local communities meet once a week in a designated location in your neighborhood for a short 1km/18-minute walk/run. Join your local group.
 
HOSTAGES AND MISSING FAMILIES FORUM
The Forum is volunteer-based and laser-focused on bringing the hostages back home to their families, to us. The forum offers families holistic support and professional assistance and advances the ongoing efforts through all channels, locally, regionally, and globally, to bring the hostages and the missing back home to their loved ones.  Learn more here.
 
WEAR YOUR SUPPORT
As the hostages in Gaza remain in our thoughts, the Boulder JCC has signed on as a participating organization for the #blueribbonsforisrael initiative. The blue ribbon symbolizes support and solidarity with the hostages, their families, and all who care about their safety. We currently have blue ribbons available at our reception desk and at programs. Learn more about the initiative here
