Testimonials

As a leader in Boulder's Jewish community, I am so excited by the unfolding reality of the new JCC, where the mission to bring together Jews of all denominations and none, of all ages and with so many different entry points, can really be lived to its fullest potential. The rabbis and leaders of our rich and diverse community are thrilled to be part of what is being built in Boulder, physically and figuratively, and the future is dynamic and bright!

Our kiddo graduated from preschool today at our beloved Boulder JCC. She started there at 11 weeks old, and without the support of all the teachers, staff, and other parents, I would not have survived as a parent, and would not have finished my PhD dissertation, which I wrote completely in the JCC library between breastfeeding breaks. This special place is foundational to who we are as a family and I don’t have words for how grateful I am.

Canasta lessons at the J have been so much more than just learning to play a card game.  I have been very fortunate to meet a group of wonderful women, including our talented instructor, Joyce Laiserin, and we formed an almost instant bond and deep friendship.  We meet on Thursday mornings for two hours of card play and almost non-stop laughter.  Sometimes we continue our fun over an impromptu lunch. We support each other through life’s ups and downs.  Good/great friends are hard to find.  This group of women means the world to me.  The best part though is that we love adding new folks to the mix so please join us

When I was a young child, my parents sent me to Jewish sleep-away camps.   That experience helped cement my identity and culture. Now, as a relatively new resident of Boulder, I was looking for the same sense of community and belonging. The MOTJ has answered my needs. I found like-minded men who enjoy hiking, meeting up at local breweries, and getting together to chat. The Boulder JCC is my new Jewish “camp” and the men I’ve befriended are my new “bunk-mates”. Thank you Boulder JCC and the Men of The J for welcoming me.

Today, fourteen years later with five kids who all went to the JCC preschool, we feel that we made the right choice. Each and every one of the staff members is loving, talented, educated and has a pure interaction with our family.

The Boulder JCC is not just a preschool; it is a community and a family. Thank you Boulder JCC, we love you all!

We continue to be impressed and excited with the cultural Jewish programming offered at the Boulder JCC. The width and breadth of the programming developed in the past 10 years have surpassed anything that we were exposed to in larger cities. We have learned so much about Jewish heritage through the wonderful lectures and movies.
