Welcome to JTown!

JTown’s mission is to create a dynamic, meaningful, and relevant Jewish community with individuals and families of diverse backgrounds and beliefs.

In JTown, we celebrate the place where individual Jewish identity meets secular and social community.

What is JTown?

It is simple! JTown is an organization that creates connections and community! We bring Jews of all ages, and the people who love them, together through adult social programs, engaging family events, alternative worship experiences, and meaningful social action projects.

In JTown, everyone is welcome, regardless of their background, affiliation, denomination, etc. We hope you will get involved by attending programs, volunteering to help at an event, or suggesting programming ideas. We would love to see you at our next program!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

PROJECT OUR TOWN - November 10 & 11, 2018

Project Our Town will be mobilizing teams of volunteers and sending them out into the greater Denver community to participate in a wide range of social action projects. This two-day experience will have a lasting impact, not only on many worthy organizations, causes, and individuals, but also the participants themselves.

We are expecting 65+ projects and up to 1000 volunteers. You won't want to miss it!

There are so many opportunities to be involved - different types, and at many different commitment levels - starting now, and all along the way leading up to and during the project weekend. There is something for everyone! If you would like to be involved in the planning, please contact us!

NATE'S WAY -- the 9TH day of EVERY MONTH

NATE'S WAY

Debbie and Clint Burnette, one of our JTowner families, lost their son Nate to suicide on Yom Kippur morning at the age of 27. Nate was very passionate about caring for people in need, and had recently met a homeless man with whom he developed a very special friendship.

So, in his honor, Nate's family, friends, and our JTown community will be feeding the homeless in Civic Center Park on the 9th of every month and on Christmas Day.

For more information about the Nate's Way project, CLICK HERE

SERVICE: Join us for a meaningful lay-led service. Please let us know if you are interested in leading a reading or prayer!

DINNER: If you haven' been to one of our Shabbat Dinners yet, you are missing out. There isn't a quiet moment, there is home-made challah, and it's really heimishe (friendly, down to earth, familiar, with a sense of belonging). We will provide a catered dinner with a vegetarian option, challah, and dessert, as well as wine, beer and soft drinks. You don't need to bring a thing!

Adults: $25 and $15/kids 4-12
JTowners: $20/adult and $12/kids 4-12

Come to just the service, just the dinner, or both.
