There is something uniquely comforting about a Friday night. The rush of the week slows down, the candles are lit, and a sense of pause settles in. This June, the Boulder JCC is opening its doors to create that exact space for local adults aged 50 and better. On Friday, June 26, from 6 to 8 pm, you are invited to a catered Shabbat dinner designed entirely around connection, warmth, and great conversation.

If you’ve ever felt like it’s getting harder to find your people as time goes on, you aren’t alone. Whether you are a lifelong Boulderite, a recent transplant trying to navigate a new city, or someone looking to expand your social circle, this evening is for you. There are no expectations, no tests of prior knowledge, and no specific level of religious observance required. The goal is simple: to show up, share a delicious meal, and enjoy the company of others in a welcoming environment.

Whether you’re new to town or simply looking to expand your circle, you belong at the table. Come for the food, stay for the laughs, and leave with a few new phone numbers. The evening begins at 6 pm at the Boulder JCC, and the $40 fee covers the full cost of the catered dinner. Space is limited, so please secure your spot by registering in advance on the Boulder JCC website.
