Boulder's Tuv Ha'Aretz continues a series of cooking classes taught by Jessica Hersh from Sweet Pea Cuisine and volunteers.

Learn how easy it is to make your own fresh bread at home. Jessica will teach you how to make both quick breads and yeast breads, incorporating seasonal vegetables like zucchini, garlic, beets, and kale.

Held in the dairy kosher kitchen of Congregation Bonai Shalom, register for one or two classes. Classes will be closed at an enrollment of 20 people and canceled if fewer than 5 people sign up. Register early to avoid disappointment. The cost is $7 per class OR $18 for all three. Free for Tuv Ha'Aretz members. Pre-register by sending an email to boulderjewishcsa@gmail.com. For more information, visit www.tuvhaaretz.wordpress.com.

The final class will be Simple Cheese Making, date and time TBA.

Boulder Tuv Ha'aretz is the Hazon Community-Supported Agriculture program in partnership with Congregation Aish Kodesh, Congregation Bonai Shalom, Nevei Kodesh, Adventure Rabbi: Synagogue Without Walls, Pardes Levavot, Congregation Har HaShem and The Boulder Jewish Community Center with Red Wagon Organic Farm. 

In one way or another, many of us have already had experience in these roles. Discussions will include both practical resources, what our tradition teaches and how to find meaning in these experiences. 

Cathy Summer will lead this program. She provides care management to seniors and to people with disabilities in the Boulder area. Cathy also assists with JFS at Home, which provides in-home, non-medical care. She has worked for several years as a hospice medical social worker. Cathy holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Denver. She lives in Boulder with her husband, Steve and two daughters, Jayne and Maya, and their dog, Lucy. She enjoys providing care management services within the Jewish community.

culture. We use associated materials when relevant. We welcome anyone to join us and

can lend a Torah if needed. You may bring a brown bag dairy lunch. For information, contact Don Margolis at (303) 444-3674.

The Torah is replete with stories of intense people, complicated families and messy relationships. Sound familiar? Within these stories and the centuries of interpretation that is the Jewish tradition, there is immense spiritual wisdom for self-understanding and growth. Using Rabbi Norman Cohen's book Self, Struggle & Change, Rabbi Rose will delve deep into the Book of Genesis to discover these insights. You will be surprised by the contemporary relevance and surprising honesty of these stories. They speak to our daily challenges. No Hebrew or previous knowledge of Torah required. 

 Whether you have wanted to try meditation for a long time or have an established practice, please join us for a Jewish meditation mini-series. Drawing on the rich and widely unknown Jewish mindfulness tradition and text, we'll sample several meditation practices including visualization, blessing practice, walking meditation, chanting, and concentration practices. $36 suggested donation covers all sessions this coming year!

Future sessions on Nov. 17, Jan. 12, Feb. 16, March 9, April 13, and May 11.
