Families have their hands full with doctors' appointments, medical diagnoses and treatments. Volunteers can help with some of the everyday burdens by delivering groceries, diapers and other essentials.
‘One Person’s Kindness Lasts a Lifetime’
by Lori Dube
When a family with a critically ill child is expecting a delivery from a There With Care volunteer, they know they are about to feel the love. 

“There With Care came today to deliver our groceries and diapers. I don’t know what we’d do without them,” said the mother of one of the families we serve. “They have been such a blessing in our lives. It meant so much to me to just know today that someone thought of us, someone cared. One person’s kindness lasts a lifetime.”

Thank you, volunteers, for surrounding families with love, letting them know they have a community that cares. If you are interested in volunteering to make deliveries to families, please contact Karyn Whitein Denver and Susan Domeracki in Boulder.

Lech-Lecha: Go Forth To Boulder

Was it masterful planning or Divine synchronicity that the Boulder JCC held its Shalom Boulder event — introducing new residents to the Boulder Jewish community — the week we read the Torah portion, Lech-Lecha? To me, it felt like a little bit of both. In Lech-Lecha, Genesis 12:1, God said to Abram, “Go forth from your homeland to the land that I shall show you.” My husband Monte and I moved to Boulder three months ago, and we have lived in three different places since we sold our family home in Evanston, Illinois three years ago. That’s a lot of threes, and it sure has been a lot of moving around. But after our nest emptied, and we both retired — Monte gave up his health care law career after 35 years, and I finished my work at a non-profit training program for at-risk youth — we decided to take some risks that would bring new energy and experiences into our lives and our marriage.  In his book “ Be Still and Get Going: A Jewish Meditation Practice for Real Life ,” Rabbi Al

Parshat Bereshit: The Blessing of the Birds

Image
In Bereshit, the very first parsha in the book of Genesis, the world comes into being through G-d’s power of creation. First there is the separation of the Light from the Dark, and then the division of Heaven and Earth. Next comes the land, sea and vegetation, and then the sun, moon and stars. After four days of miraculous feats, G-d brings forth fish and birds, and for the first time, uses the technology of saying a Blessing to affirm these first living creatures. Genesis 1:20-23 says: וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים יִשְׁרְצ֣וּ הַמַּ֔יִם שֶׁ֖רֶץ נֶ֣פֶשׁ חַיָּ֑ה וְעוֹף֙ יְעוֹפֵ֣ף עַל־הָאָ֔רֶץ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י רְקִ֥יעַ הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃ God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.”  וַיִּבְרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־הַתַּנִּינִ֖ם הַגְּדֹלִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת כָּל־נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּ֣ה ׀ הָֽרֹמֶ֡שֶׂת אֲשֶׁר֩ שָׁרְצ֨וּ הַמַּ֜יִם לְמִֽינֵהֶ֗ם וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ע֤וֹף כָּנָף֙ לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים כִּי־טֽוֹב׃  God cre
