TJE is a wonderful place to connect with Jewish community, history and heritage, where amazing teachers provide invaluable learning opportunities in a welcoming environment.
We love the young family events at the Jewish experience! Rabbi and Rebbetzin Ross have been so warm, personable, and committed to helping us deepen our connections to Judaism and the Jewish community.
Being new to Denver, Olami has welcomed me in like family! Through various events and holidays, they have connected me with countless other Jews in Denver. Without Olami, I know I would be less connected to both my own Judaism, as well as the larger Jewish community. I am forever grateful!
Jewish Joke of the Week: Dog For Sale
A man sees a sign in front of a house: “Talking Dog For Sale. $10.”
He thinks, “No way,” so he knocks on the door.
The owner says, “Dog’s in the backyard.”
The man goes out back.
“Can you really talk?” he asks.
“Of course,” says the dog.
Rav Moshe Feinstein, the supreme halachic decider of the previous generation asks why the parsha of Tzitzis begins on a different note then most of the mitzvos presented in the Torah. Usually, the introduction of a mitzvah is with the words “And Hashem spoke” whereas when Moshe relays the mitzvah of tzitzis the introductory phrase is “And Hashem said” a considerably more softer tone.

This week’s joke comes courtesy of the fabulous Sal Litvak, whom we recently had the pleasure of hosting for Shabbat. Many of you know Sal as “The Accidental Talmudist,” where he shares wisdom, inspiration, and plenty of great Jewish humor.
Here’s a fun one from Sal: The Secret To Long Life
An 80 year old man goes in for a checkup.
The doctor says, “I’m amazed. How do you keep in such great shape?”
Guy says, “I’m a Jewish golfer. I get up before dawn, I pray, I play 18 holes, I have my schnapps. All is well.”
