Murray Feldman, a retired accountant from Cherry Creek who still insists on wearing a tie to the grocery store, is crossing the street when a car clips him and sends him sprawling onto the pavement.
Within seconds, there’s a whole sidewalk minyan gathered around him. One woman is yelling, “Call 911!” Another is offering him a protein bar. Somebody else is somehow already blaming the traffic on Colorado Boulevard.
The Torah urges us to dedicate our time, resources and energy for Torah study. The language employed is rather interesting. Torah study is referred to as a statute and immersion in its study is termed walking. Certainly, there is a reason for this unusual definition of our obligation to invest in Torah study. Additionally, we are compelled to protect the mitzvos and observe them.
This week in Photos: Celebrate Israel and a Family BBQ This past Sunday was full of community, connection, and some really sweet moments. 🇮🇱💙 We loved joining Celebrate Israel Day,…
Daniel flags down a cab late at night after a long day. He slides into the back seat, gives an address across town, and the driver, a guy named Mike, nods and pulls away.

Some nights just feel a little more elevated.
Last week, our Family Experience team hosted a VIP & Donor Appreciation Evening — a beautifully curated night of gratitude, connection, and seriously good food. Think multi-course dining from East Side Kosher Deli, each course thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines, and a room filled with the people who help make everything we do possible.
It was intimate, warm, and full of the kind of conversations you wish you could bottle.
We’re sharing a glimpse into the evening below… but fair warning: this is one of those “wish you were there” galleries.
(And if you weren’t there this time — we’d love to have you at the next one.) 🍷
The sacrifice termed the Peace Offering or the ‘Shlamim’ is unlike other offerings because its allowed time for consumption is the day it was brought, the following night and the day after. All other sacrifices are only for that day and the following night based upon Torah standards.
Moishe and Miriam sat down for dinner after a long day. Miriam brought out a beautiful brisket, sliced it carefully, and placed two pieces on the serving platter, one noticeably…
The halacha is that only a Kohen can pronounce the impurity of Tzora’as upon either a person, his clothing or his home.
