Boulder JCC Art Exhibit

Ayal Hausfeld
Art for Life’s Sake
Join the Boulder JCC for a “Meet the Artist” wine and cheese reception for the opening of Ayal Hausfeld’s exhibit, “Art for Art’s Sake,” Sunday, May 6, 6-7 p.m., at the Boulder JCC. Ayal’s artistic education began in elementary school with Sunday trips to the local art student's league and more than three years of high school study in Italy, and led to a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a MA in Art Therapy and Counseling from Naropa University. His work includes Judaica, fine art, calligraphy, ketubot, and graphic design. “My approach to art making both personally and professionally is based up on the idea that the creative process in and of itself has enormous potential to heal our fragmented parts, integrate life changes and bring meaningful attention to our existence. In my individual work, I most often begin a painting by letting go of any rigid notion of what I think the outcome should be. My aim is to gradually quiet the mind and permit "the still, small voice" within to surface.”  The reception will be immediately followed by Menorah’s screening of “From Swastika to Jim Crow” at 7 p.m.

Menorah Talking Pictures

“From Swastika to Jim Crow”

Join Menorah’s Talking Picture series for a screening of “From Swastika to Jim Crow,” Sunday, May 6, 7 p.m. at the Boulder JCC. Immediately after Hitler took power in 1933, Jewish professors were expelled from German universities. Many of them fled to America. But times were tough in the U.S., where anti-Semitism was rife in academe. Thus, some refugee scholars ended up in an unlikely setting: the black segregated colleges of the Deep South, where they mentored, supported and forged lasting relationships with their black students, all the while contributing to the growing civil rights movement. Through interviews with professors, their colleagues and students, this fascinating documentary relates a little-known chapter in Jewish-Black relations and reveals the ease with which the German Jews became “color blind,” the seriousness—and gratitude—with which they accepted their jobs, and the enduring affection and appreciation that is their legacy. Cost: $5/Boulder JCC members; $6/non-members. RSVP to Kathryn@boulderjcc.org, (303) 998-1021

Older Adults – Not Just For Seniors

How to Save Your Own Life

With Carol Salter, Co-director of the Grillo Health Information Center

Join Older Adults – Not Just for Seniors for “How To Save Your Own Life” with Carol Salter, Wednesday, May 9, noon at the Boulder JCC. When Virgil Grillo was coping with cancer, the CU professor engaged in extensive research on the disease and his options. Before his death, he envisioned a comfortable place where people could come and, with assistance from trained researchers, could research and access information so that they would be better informed about their own health and health care needs. The Virgil Grillo Health Information Center was established in 1998 at the Boulder Public Library to honor this vision. Since that time, many users believe the center has saved their life. Come find out how you can benefit from this invaluable community resource. Cost: $5 for talk and lunch. RSVP: Kathryn@boulderjcc.org, (303) 998-1021.

Menorah Classes:
Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity - The Legacy of A. J. Heschel

A six-week class with Rabbi Victor Gross and guest speakers

LAST CLASS - Tuesday, MAY 15, 10:30 am – noon

Drop in cost: $16/ Boulder JCC member; $18/non-member per class.

Please contact Kathryn@Boulderjcc.org, (303) 998-1021

One of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, Abraham Joshua Heschel may be best known for marching with Martin Luther King – the subject of Menorah’s January program, which left many who attended longing to learn more. Indeed, there’s much more to Heschel than social activism. Come learn more about this great scholar, theologian, writer and teacher from one of his students, Rabbi Victor Gross. Rabbi Victor Gross was a student of Professor Heschel in the late 60's and had a personal  relationship with him and his family and paid a partial debt to his influence by writing his Ph.D. on him.

Metro Denver/Boulder Jewish Community Study Update:
Thank you for your support thus far to the 2007 Metro Denver/Boulder Jewish Community Study.  Many of you have supported the study by attending the input sessions in November and December, by helping to market the study through your organizations' newsletters and e-newsletters, and sharing your membership lists which are being used to randomly select households for the telephone survey. The survey instrument is complete, and the phones have started to ring across the 7-county area.  If your phone rings, please participate in the survey.  Please tell your friends, colleagues and members to do the same. The more people who answer the phone and participate in the interviews, the more efficient the survey.

* Some of you have offered to put a link to the web-page about the survey on your website.  Thank you!  If you are willing to do so, please reply and notify Maggie Miller at maggiemiller1@comcast.net – (please note the "1" ) or phone 303-886-5116 and Maggie will follow up with you. 

* If someone gets a call from an interviewer and is suspicious of it, please call 303-316-6340 to find out more about the survey.

* FYI, the survey contains questions about: where people live and have lived...in what ways they consider themselves Jewish...who lives in their household...their employment and education...how their children are being raised and educated...what they do for fun...what they do that's Jewish...what obstacles have prevented them from engaging in Jewish activities...what support resources they use or seek...how they give...and more. The survey represents the input that was received from you last fall, and months of work by the Steering Committee. (A full copy of the survey will be made public this fall.) 

* As we mentioned last fall, research-into-action is a top priority of this study.  Three R&D teams will be launching in the next three months.  Their foci are: (a) Young Adults: Jewish Connections/Engagement (b) Boomers: Jewish Connections/Engagement and Social Support Needs  (c) Growth and Dispersion: Implications for Jewish Communal Life in Colorado .  The tasks of each team will include: developing a research plan, analyzing survey data, researching models of best practices locally and nationally, identifying areas for qualitative research and overseeing that research, meeting with relevant community and agency leaders to discuss ways to use the data to implement programs, and developing an implementation and action plan.  This work will begin now, and extend through the rest of the year.  I will keep you updated about that.  In the meantime, if you and your organization have particular interest in any of these areas, please let me know.

* Please update your boards about the Study. It would be most helpful to put the word out.  Please use this email for your speaking points, and if you have any questions or clarifications, please contact maggie@maggiemiller.org or phone at 303-886-5116.

Thank you again for your support of the Community Study.
