15 Mar Telluride Jewish Community: Upcoming Shabbat, Passover & More, 3/20, 4/1 & 4/12!
The Telluride Jewish Community or TJC, is dedicated to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive nonprofit that celebrates and strengthens Jewish identity, heritage, and culture.
Really say those of you who can otherwise rattle off the list of those institutions? Yeah really. In fact, the TJC is decades old – though historically largely off the radar for the unaffiliated. Until recently that is, when Sari Levy picked up the mantle from Michael Saffler and together are running with it and, as president and TJC’s first ED, are trying to take this 501(c)(3) from relative stealth to a central force for good in the region.
Join TJC in the run up to Passover.
And read the note below from Sari.
Hello Everyone,
Quite a week. Toronto. La Jolla. Bloomfield. Belgium.
Was it a week of tragedy, or a week of calamity that somehow did not come to pass?
We mourn the brave U.S. servicemen lost in this war: Capt. Cody A. Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, Sgt. Declan J. Coady, Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, and four others whose names have not yet been released.
The tens of thousands of Iranian protesters imprisoned, tortured, and killed.
At the same time, Hamas expelled from Qatar. Iran’s regime shaken. Courage emerging in the streets.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks observed: “The Greeks gave the world the concept of tragedy. Jews gave it the idea of hope.”
Even in the darkest moments, hope is not only possible—it is our responsibility.
That is why Shabbat arrives each week. One day to step back, gather, sing, pray, share a meal, and remember that we remain a people of life and joy.
March 20 —Next week, we hope you will come celebrate with your Telluride community, Cantor Ann Turnoff and her daughter, Cantor Jessica Ferrari. RSVP here.
Then we turn toward Passover:
April 1 — Community Seder at the Show Bar. Tickets here ($10). Food sign up here.
April 2 — Second Night Seder, 6:00 PM RSVP here for location.
