Events
Coming Up
Moral Grandeur and
Spiritual Audacity - The Legacy of A. J. Heschel
A six-week class with Rabbi
Victor Gross and guest speakers
Tuesdays, 10:30 am - noon
March 6, 13, 20, April 17, 24, May 1
$90 for Boulder JCC members: $100 for non-members
Registration deadline is March 2
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.

MONEY IS LOVE -
Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money
One Day Workshop With BARBARA
WILDER 3333 Iris Ave. Suite 207 - Boulder. March 4th - 10:00 AM - 5:00
PM. 303-444-2367 for more information and to register.
Join Barbara Wilder, author of MONEY IS LOVE: Reconnecting to the
Sacred Origins of Money, to learn this radical, yet ancient,
perspective on MONEY. The way we think about money determines how, why
and how much of it moves through our lives. Too many of us labor under
the false belief that money is "a necessary evil," or something that
spiritual people shouldn't involve themselves with. But money has not
always been evil. Its origins are sacred, and with conscious effort we
can restore the sacred to money and have it become our abundant partner
on our spiritual path.

ALEPH Passover in Israel!
Rabbis Victor and Nadya
strongly urge folks to consider this amazing opportunity to see Israel
through the spiritual lens that is Rabbi Marcia Prager's and Hazzan
Jack Kessler's special gift.
Have you been yearning for an experience of Israel that speaks to your
body, heart, mind and soul? Have you been longing to participate in a
community of travelers who are open to an honest encounter with the
timeless teachings of a living Torah? Have you been planning on going
to Israel when the time is right, but haven't yet found it?

ALEPH's Kallah Brochure
is now on the web!
Friends, I can't tell you how
excited I am about this upcoming Kallah. Every year the class proposals
are more impressive, and this year is no exception. That means that
your study options will be wide and deep. You will see that at this
Kallah we paid special attention to providing a broad range of
intermediate and advanced level courses for all of you life long
learners. We already have some amazing evening programs planned, not to
mention our "Rebbe is In" sessions and davenning offerings. And the
workshop track! Oh my goodness-what a rich selection. You can see it
all (except the workshop offerings-they are not yet final) and get your
Kallah questions answered about fees, etc. at: www.aleph.org/kallah.html.
