Israel Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Rememberance Day. Happy
Birthday!
Congratulations to the Circle of Family Education program on another

Boulder
chorus opens Jewish
festival
Shir HaLev, the
Boulder Jewish Chorus, will be opening the Boulder Jewish Festival at
11 a.m. on Sunday, June 15, on the Pearl Street Mall. Shir haLev
features Pardes Levavot member Fred Berkelhammer.
The chorus, in its third year of opening the festival, has been living
up to its name (Song of the Heart) by singing in assisted living
facilities and Jewish congregations this fall, winter and spring. "We
are a community chorus, so we love singing for elders and bringing such
varied and beautiful Jewish music into our community," says Zhenya
Gallon, acting director.
Chorus members are drawn from almost every congregation in Boulder, as
well as from the unaffiliated community. "We are varied in age and
musical experience, but we are united by our love for singing and for
the rich heritage of Jewish music - whether well-known or unfamiliar -
that we perform," she adds.

An
elderly Jewish
lady is leaving the garment district to go home from work. Suddenly a
man who has been walking towards her, stands in front of her, blocks
her path, opens up his raincoat and flashes her. Unruffled she takes a
look and remarks, "This you call a lining?"
