As a people, we, as Jews, have always recognized the profound significance of the word "and." We feel the heartbreak and pain our brothers and sisters in Israel are enduring, AND simultaneously, we persist in our pursuit of a stronger and more inspired Jewish life here. Despite the attempts of terrorists to instill fear and push us to conceal our Judaism, we respond by growing stronger and prouder. Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to come together as a community to support one another.
At JOI, we are unwaveringly committed to supporting Israel in every possible way AND we are committed to provide top-notch Jewish programming that empowers us to live for the values our brothers and sisters are bravely fighting for in Israel.
We encourage you to give, act, pray and advocate for Israel and show up in numbers for Jewish programing here in Denver.
In order to provide more equitable access to our programs, JOI has moved to "set your own price" tickets for all of our programing. This way, you can pay what you think each program is worth to you, taking into consideration how much you can afford or you can choose to pay more to help offset the price for those less fortunate.
For reference, most events that include dinner cost about $40/person.
You will be prompted at the end to add a tip or donation to offset the transaction costs. Please note, that these this is optional and these funds do not go to JOI. They go directly to Zeffy.

Eshet Chayil - On our mission, we participated in delivering packages to the wives of frontline soldiers.
