To say this past week was busy would be an understatement! We enjoyed a powerful Tisha B’Av with special guest speaker Ariel Berkowitz. Our weekly learning continues to grow, and we’re even hard at work for a Cholent Cook-off this weekend with the Akiva Experience! Check it all out in This Week in Pictures.
It is a busy summer here at TJE! Last weekend we enjoyed not one, but 8 different programs from Friday through Sunday! That, plus a special guest speaker at our Wednesday night learning AND a packed Thursday night while our Kiddush Cup teams prepare for their finale! Here is a quick look at it all in This Week in Pictures.
I was in a room not too long ago when the question was asked to some parents about a break from school and how it feels now that their kids are back in school.
One replied “it was so great having them home”. The other responded, “it was such a relief once they went back.”
The tribes of Gad and Reuven approached Moshe with a startling proposition. They wanted to remain outside the mainland of Israel and take advantage of the tremendous pasture for their flock.
What a wonderfully packed week it was at The Jewish Experience! We’ve got some fabulous photos from our Family Experience’s recent Sunday Shenanigans, plus a look at our new Mahjong group, our weekly Morning Service and more. Here is This Week in Pictures at TJE:
The Olami Denver Experience sent a group of 8 young professionals to join a Volunteer trip through Taglit’s OU Israel Free Spirit program. After October 7th Birthright created a new program in which young professionals ages 20-40 are able to go volunteer in Israel– even if they already did birthright! The group was based in Jerusalem, but spent two days packing boxes of food in a warehouse, and three days helping farmers.
When you get compliments on how delicious your cholent is, tell them “what makes a good cholent is good guests.”
Today for This Week in Pictures, we’re honored to share some photos captured by Rabbi Danny Wolfe who is currently in Israel as part of a special Birthright Israel program. We’ll have many more photos to share upon his return, but for now, here are a few quick photos from Rabbi Wolfe’s current trip to Israel. Be sure to check out the video as well, featuring some inspirational thoughts from Rabbi Wolfe last week when he arrived in Israel.
The upheaval that Korach caused went far beyond his actual claims against Moshe. His dispute centered upon the seat of power in the nation. He contested Moshe’s authority, Ahron’s appointment as the Kohen Gadol and of course that his cousin was selected to be the head of his particular branch of the Levites. Many prominent members of the people mistakenly supported his mutiny and their punishment was not deferre and it was swift and exacting. However, there were also secondary damages that occurred due to his insurgency.
