As we continue to imagine our future, and how we connect with the Jewish community, in Boulder County and beyond, we are deeply committed to fostering a community where everyone feels named, known, noticed, and needed.  One that provides a robust offering of ways to connect, learn, worship, and engage, that aligns with HarHaShem’s mission and vision, and our strategic plan.

Our Guiding Principles

Uniquely Boulder, CO and Beyond

Jewish Values, History, and Legacy

A BIG Open & Safe Tent

Health, Wellness, & Justice for People and Planet

Long-Term Financial Sustainability

Place for Culture & Celebration

Stay Focused and Inclusive

We hope to create a beautiful space that allows us to gather together to celebrate, pray, learn, and socialize. As we plan, we continue to consider our guiding principles. Our campus today has significant shortcomings, including spaces that are hard to utilize, do not meet ADA compliance, and have security implications. After extensive exploration by the Building Our Future Task Force, we are moving forward with further developing the recommendation to renovate and expand the North Building, and exploring a sale of the South Building property to support a fraction of the project. The remaining amount will be through fundraising.

Where We Are Now

Josh Zapin, chair of the Building Our Future Task Force presented the full recommendation and preliminary (note this is preliminary and NOT final designs) footprint concepts during a town hall on February 9th.
