EXCHANGE: A Hub for Learning is the adult learning program at the Boulder JCC. This program provides educational opportunities for adults to learn for the sake of learning. Due to the program’s popularity, this fall season will offer more classes than ever—8 total. Students will have the chance to sign up for multiple classes in one day or the same week, with classes ranging from 3 weeks to 6 weeks.

In addition to learning something new, the real draw of this program is making connections with others. As a student from the last session said,   “The classroom and facilities, the JCC Staff, including the very helpful and friendly people at the front desk, all added to the pleasure of the course was truly excellent. Meeting friends and making new ones also added to my enjoyment of the class."

With August coming up, the Boulder JCC has many opportunities to celebrate Shabbat with community, connection, and joy. From Family Shabbat in the Park, in Louisville and Broomfield, to Farmside Shabbat at the Boulder JCC’s Milk and Honey Farm, and Shabbat for ages 50+, the Boulder JCC has it all to help round out the Summer Shabbat season and transition into Fall. 

From Family Shabbat in the Park and Shabbat for those 50+, to Early Learning & Parenting Classes, a Community Block Party, and after-school activities, there are so many opportunities for connection for all ages this fall at the Boulder JCC! For more information on all these programs, or any other programs we have scheduled for this fall, please refer to the Boulder JCC events calendar.  Can’t wait to see you there!

The Boulder Jewish Film Festival is still five months away, but I have already secured many exciting titles from around the world. The festival, which runs November 10-17 at the Dairy Arts Center, will have a Sephardic theme this year with three international feature films – one focused on 19^th century Italy, one on 20^th century Algeria, and our closing night family drama about a contemporary Moroccan family living in France and Israel, “Seven Blessings.“ I am equally excited about our uplifting and diverse Israeli films and our documentaries, including “The Catskills.”

The Boulder JCC and Boulder Israeli Dance are excited to offer a new class series in Modern Israeli Dance. New material is offered each class series – Beginners and repeat attendees welcome! Israeli dance is both culture and recreation, combining the joy of contemporary Israeli music in an exuberant and uplifting group dance experience. Learn the basics of Israeli circle and line dances – both classic and new – in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Open to everyone ages 15 and older, 6-week session. No dance experience is needed!
