Shavuot, Shabbat & Hikathon

+ ways to get involved this summer

View this email in your browser Hello everyone, Hope you are having a nice off-season, maybe someplace warm and beachy. Telluride is quiet, even if the world is not. We're hoping to see you this summer, or sooner, if you'll be here for Shavuot.  Please have a peek at the calendar below, and pencil us in! Rotary x TJC Hikathon (June) First off, we’re hooking up with the Rotary Club on a hikathon, which is a joint fundraiser for both TJC and Rotary—and a fun excuse to take hikes & walks wherever you are. Sign up now and hike during the month of June. Win prizes and raise funds for two important local groups. Details below. Shavuot – May 21 There will be cheese, learning, and wine. Hopefully we luck out with the weather and can make it another patio party. Space is limited. Details below. Community Shabbat – June 5 June Shabbat announced. Hosted by longtime locals, this will be an early-season, low-key affair with a short, casual service followed by beverages and heavy apps. Details below. Summer Calendar (so far) The rest of our summer calendar is also on the books, and we will announce more details as the summer progresses. For now, mark your calendar. July 28 – Cooking Class with Ah Haa July 31 – Community Shabbat August 28 – Community Shabbat September 10 – Cooking Class September 11–13 – Rosh Hashanah September 20–21 – Yom Kippur Opportunities to Engage  We’re looking for a few ways people can help strengthen our community this season.
