The bris or brit milah, is the covenant ceremony in which we welcome a baby boy into the world with thanks and blessing. A mohel performs the circumcision and the rabbi blesses the newborn and gives him a Hebrew name.

Generally, we hold this ceremony eight days after the baby is born, as commanded in the Torah.

The service is generally held in the home, with a small gathering of friends and family. The service can be personalized with songs and readings chosen by the parents. We share stories about the meaning of the baby's name and the person for whom the baby is named, as well as ways in which we pray the baby will be like him or her.

Rabbi Korngold can join the mohel of your choosing in conducting a personalized ceremony for your family.

We welcome the opportunity to work with all kinds of families to celebrate the beginning of their child's life. The charge for planning and facilitating this ritual is $600 in Boulder and $650 in Denver or any other area within an hour's drive from Boulder.

Please contact Rabbi Korngold jamie@adventurerabbi.com or 303.417.6200 ext. 10 for more information or to plan your ceremony.

Shalom Hebrew School offers the best in Hebrew School education! This creative and exciting Sunday morning (9 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ) program, developed for Jewish children, ages 4 through 12, was designed to nurture the seed of love for Jewish customs, celebrations and heritage.

Shalom Hebrew School provides a safe and secure environment for each child to learn two vitally important lessons:

1. To become a person whose feelings are deeds are sensitive to the lives of other people—a “mentsch.”
2. To face life’s situations in a balanced, healthy and positive way—with a winning attitude!

Children will also learn to read Hebrew. This will give them the tools to celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvah properly and participate in prayer services for many years to come!

Children will go beyond the traditional celebratory aspect of their Bar/Bat Mitzvah occasion and learn that it is a special time to embrace Jewish values.

New friends will be made among peers, and among mentors and teachers. Jewish youngsters will come together from every part of the Jewish spectrum to learn about how the similarities and the differences among people can truly be wonderful.

Choose the days which work best for your schedule and your child - our school meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  By choosing the two days which work best for your family, your child is receiving the best educational opportunity at this point in his/her life.  The two day per week option gives your child more than just a brief taste of our topics, it allows them to start to question, investigate and explore all while leaving them with the desire to learn more.  This desire is carried back home, where as a family you can continue to grow and learn.

BMH-BJ's preschool classrooms are small and intimate with low teacher-student ratios and plenty of one-to-one interaction with the students. The classrooms enable children to develop an essential sense of their own self-worth, confidence and the willingness to explore the new or unfamiliar, and the ability to play and interact socially with others. The BMH-BJ Syagogue Preschool teachers develop a positive curriculum in which children learn the basics to prepare them for their soon-to-begin careers as students. Jewish holidays are celebrated in class, helping children get a sense of the ruach (the spirit of their religion and culture). From the earliest ages, the children begin to learn Hebrew songs, the Shema, brachot and other Jewish prayers.
Monday–Thursday, 7:30 a.m.–6 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m.; no parents in classes. Monthly tuition is $930
