TJE is a wonderful place to connect with Jewish community, history and heritage, where amazing teachers provide invaluable learning opportunities in a welcoming environment.
We love the young family events at the Jewish experience! Rabbi and Rebbetzin Ross have been so warm, personable, and committed to helping us deepen our connections to Judaism and the Jewish community.
Being new to Denver, Olami has welcomed me in like family! Through various events and holidays, they have connected me with countless other Jews in Denver. Without Olami, I know I would be less connected to both my own Judaism, as well as the larger Jewish community. I am forever grateful!
Two old friends, Isaac and Shmuel, are sitting across from each other in a cramped train compartment on the long ride from New York to Chicago.

The end of the parsha deals with animals that we are prohibited to consume. The commentators intertwine the theme of sanctity which defines the nation with the ban against those forbidden animals. Nachmonides and others explain that the essence of the proscribed animals is antithesis to the very nature of the Jewish people.

A young bride decides to make her very first cholent for her new husband. Wanting to get it just right, she calls her mother for the family recipe.
