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.

Cole, in all his smiley, morning enthusiasm, personified what a blessing it is just to wake up, to be alive, and to be given the gift of another day. How would it be possible to recapture this morning joy for myself, I wondered. How can I wake up to being more like Cole? In this season of Thanksgiving, I am reminded that the Jewish liturgy offers a technology to access morning...

Bagel, Lox and Torah

Nothing goes better with Torah Study than bagels, lox, and cream cheese. So if it is a Saturday morning around 9 a.m. at Congregation Har HaShem in Boulder, you can find both, and some 30 to 40 souls, who are there to chew on it all.  “I used to work at a congregations that called it ‘BLT’ — Bagels, Lox and Torah, but then the recession hit and we changed the name to Bagels, Learning and Torah,” Rabbi Fred Greene, says with a chuckle. This one hour weekly study session with Rabbi Greene, which each week draws many familiar faces, and always a few new ones, could easily be called ‘BLLLT,’ Bagels, Lox, Learning, Laughter and Torah, because there’s plenty of everything. There’s lots of reasons people show up around the long rectangular table (with additional seats lining the walls of the large, open room to accommodate everyone), but most would say it is for spiritual and intellectual sustenance…rather than the delicious carbs. People come for a ...
