"The program you planned and implemented so beautifully was an incredible success. Visiting with Marlyn and Martin was a very special privilege. Already knew that they are such lovely people and such a constant at the JCC programs, but it was an eye opener to be in their home and really get to see Marlyn's creativity. I told her she truly was a Blythe Spirit in every way, the grown up Slice in Wonderland leading down the Rabbit Hole to see how she views the world through her amazing artwork.Thank you for bringing the program to us and of course you know, this has to happen again and probably, again. Marlyn is a wonderful talent which should be exposed to our community. And Martin is a delightful, joyous, and knowledgeable man. This event was an Enormous success. Warm regards,Barb"
"Congratulations on the klezmer/Chinese food event. It was amazing! The number of people, the bands and singers, the strong community feeling, the great venue - all were just great! -Stephanie"
"Thank you Kathryn for your kind words regarding Klezmania! As well for all you did to support this being an event that would reach out in such an inclusive way to our greater community. That was reflected in all the guest talent we were able to include in the evening, in bringing in folks like Biz to lead Israeli dancing, in including the Moishe House band Hadgaba in the programming and more... while all this collaboration in program created more moving parts (ie: work!) for me to weave into the production, it was always done in pleasure, and I think the results spoke for themselves. - Sheldon Sands"
"Wow! I'm on the bus to Denver to meet friends for some "culture" and thought I'd glance at the ACE site. I want to do it all! You've created an astonishingly alluring lineup of events to enrich all of us in Boulder. Thank you! Sheila Malcolm

"What a tremendous 10 days-fabulous selections! Great trailer! Good feelings all around. A good mix of intellectual and emotional contents. I'm going to miss seeing so many friends and the large sense of community. From and audience perspective, it was smooth sailing! A truly remarkable festival-we're so lucky to have you!" Nicky Wolman
"What you tap into and offer us, is usually wide ranging and inspired.
The price is affordable, and no one ever seems to be turned away for lack of funds. I hope you will enjoy this work for a long time coming." Jude Blitz
"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 over the last 10 years have surpassed anything we have been exposed to in larger cities. We have learned so much about Jewish heritage through the wonderful lectures and movies presented by Menorah." Steve and Sandy Friedman
"We moved to Colorado in 2004. Ever since Menorah's program have been one of the principal means of staying tied to our Jewish heritage and culture. We happily drive the 20+ miles from our home in the mountains to attend as many of the events as we can. Not only are they fun, but most are intellectually stimulating. Our attendance has allowed us to meet some very nice people and to stay tied in to Boulder's Jewish community." Martin and Marlyn Cheshes

ACE's mission is to provide enlightening and entertaining arts, cultural, and educational programs for the Jewish community and the community at large.
Since its founding as an adult Jewish educational organization in 1980, ACE has built an outstanding reputation for excellence in cultural arts programming. Our programs foster social and intellectual engagement, and enhance an appreciation for the restorative power of the arts.
We remain committed to enriching community life by presenting the very best programs in arts, culture, and education, always designed to fulfill the JCC’s community-building mission. Those program areas include:
Adult Art Classes: Our classes allow adults to explore their creative side with professional, artist-led art classes in an intimate learning environment. We are currently offering clay, weaving and painting classes.
Mindfulness Education: Our programs will help you clear your mind, develop a new practice, connect with others, and learn. We offer a variety of programs, led by skilled instructors, open to those with established practices, new to mindfulness, or just curious. From virtual and in-person meditation to chanting, to wise aging and mindful dating, there is a program for every interest.
Boulder Jewish Film Festival: Celebrating our 11th-anniversary in 2023! This annual festival is held at the Dairy Arts Center for 10 days of cinema and conversation. The Festival allows patrons to learn with and from each other, to enhance our appreciation of cinema together, and to enjoy each other’s thoughts and company.
Concerts and Theater: ACE brings a diverse selection of musicians and small theater performances together to educate and entertain the community.
Book Talks and Educational Programs: We present authors, and lectures of the highest caliber for educational programs with opportunities for people to connect and share.
Boulder Jewish Festival: Held annually for over 25 years, this festival is held on the Pearl Street Mall. The goal of the festival is to bring Jewish arts, culture, and food to the whole community. This June event regularly draws up to 10,000 visitors.
