Mitzvah, later this month.

At the Boulder JCC, 3800 Kalmia Avenue.
Join us and discover how to use authentic Tree of Life mysticism, sweet

deep, intimate relationship; how to "zoom" into God's holy presence;
how to talk to God and listen as God responds, and how to fulfill the
yearnings of heart and soul. Anytime. Anywhere. All in just 20
minutes a day!
Open to people of all faiths and spiritual paths; you "don't have to

An
Israeli mayor in a small town is walking past a construction site with
his wife. One of the construction workers stops and calls out to the
woman. "What's
new, Sara?"
"Why,
it's nice to see you
again Avi," the woman replies.
She turns to introduce her husband
to the construction worker, and they speak for several minutes. After the mayor and his
wife
continue on, he turns to his wife to ask how she knows him.
"Oh,"
she said. "We went
together in high school. I even thought about marrying him."
The husband
began to laugh. "You don't realize how lucky you are. If I hadn't come
along, today you
would be the wife of a construction worker!"
The wife
replied without
hesitation, "Not really. If I had married him, he'd now be mayor!"
