Congregation Har HaShem’s Annual Fund is an essential way we sustain the heart of our community—supporting worship, learning, acts of justice, and compassionate care. 

Whether you’re new to Har HaShem or have been part of our community for years, your participation in the Annual Fund ensures that our vision continues to thrive: a welcoming space for all, where Jewish life is vibrant, meaningful, and inclusive. We ask that each household in our congregation makes a one-year annual fund contribution, helping us continuously improve, and be an open tent for all.

As we mark our 60th anniversary, we are reminded that our strength comes from each member's generosity and commitment. The Annual Fund supports programming for all, including spiritual services, lifecycle events, community gatherings, and critical social justice initiatives that serve both our members and the broader Boulder community.

This year’s Annual Fund also plays a key role in preparing us for an exciting new chapter—the upcoming Building Our Future campaign. Your gift today helps lay the groundwork for renewing our campus, ensuring Har HaShem remains a spiritual and communal gathering place for generations to come. 

Whether you’re giving for the first time, renewing a past commitment, or continuing your tradition of generous support, your contribution is a meaningful way to shape Har HaShem’s future while honoring our shared past. 

We invite you to take part in this collective effort—rooted in gratitude, vision, and hope.

Mission

We create meaning in our lives…through Jewish practice. We celebrate together and lift each other when we have fallen. We are inspired to realize our human potential. We work to make the world more just.

Background Statement

Established in 1965, Har HaShem is the oldest continually operating synagogue in Boulder, Colorado.

Over the years, Har HaShem has grown from its modest beginnings to be a major institution in the Boulder community and the Colorado Jewish community. Our religious school is one of the largest in the state. We are leaders in Social Action programs. We have expanded our learning programs for youth and families to include multiple entry points for Jewish engagement, including a popular Family School, expanded Sunday options that enable students to experience as well as learn about Judaism, and multiple choices for Hebrew learning. Our youth groups have grown from a small senior youth group to programs for 3rd-12th graders. Our Congregation consistently has among the largest groups attending NFTY-Missouri Valley regional events. Our young people view Har HaShem as their home. We are one of the pilot Congregations of the HUC-JIR/URJ's B'nai Mitzvah Revolution, for which we have received national press in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. A collaborative community-wide teen learning initiative is just now being launched. As our members age, we have more and more second and even third generation members who are committed to keeping Har HaShem strong and thriving.
