Our Vision:
We create meaning in our lives…through Jewish practice.

We are inspired to realize our human potential.
We work to make the world more just.
Your support strengthens our community. In strength, we give back to the world.
Your Donations help support:
Support from our community allows Congregation Har HaShem to provide a space for our community, where anyone and everyone has access to Jewish life. Our tent is open to all for sharing values, learning, ritual, traditions, music, culture, spiritual practice, social justice, and pastoral support. Within our congregation, your contribution (just to name a few) allows us to:
In addition to our internal operations, your donation helps support our Tikkun olam (repairing the world) initiative. Through support from people like you, we advocate for the vulnerable, feed the hungry, strengthen the impoverished, and protect the environment:
• Food and supplies for new immigrants through Casa de Paz
• High Holy Day food drive for Community Food Share
• Sponsorship and shelter for an Afghan family
• Monthly lunches for the homeless in Boulder
• Symposium on Spirituality and the Environment
• And much, much more
[We] would like to thank you again for thinking of us when you invited us to join with the congregation for virtual services during these challenging times we're all facing. Having the opportunity to participate in Shabbat services again and be a part of the Har HaShem family reminded us of how much we missed belonging to a Synagogue and being a part of the Temple family. Even though the distance kept us from regular participation, we knew we could always call upon the Temple if we ever needed support, as I did when my father passed away. So, we've decided we'd like to re-join Har HaShem, even it means we won't be able to participate as much once life returns to normal and the virtual services end.

Har HaShem and its team are able to serve our community because of the generosity of our members. We strive to put every dollar back into the community through spiritual guidance, education, programs, and improving our space.

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.
