Who We Are
Who We Are
Congregation Nevei Kodesh is known for its creative, meaningful and joyful embrace of the spiritual riches of the Jewish tradition. Situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, we come together to seek an authentic, inclusive, egalitarian expression for Jewish life in the 21st century.
Established in 1993, Nevei Kodesh is an extended family of people from diverse backgrounds, including Jewish, interfaith and multicultural families, singles, couples, seniors, Jews by choice, LGBTQ people, and participants in other spiritual traditions. All are welcome!
In 2014 we entered a new chapter, welcoming a new rabbi, Rav Sarah Bracha Gershuny, and buying our own building, a beautiful former church on Glenwood Drive at 19th St. We look forward to seeing you soon!
Our Vision:
To revitalize Judaism as a transformative spiritual path for the 21st century.
Our Mission:
To build a dynamic, inclusive, multigenerational, participatory community dedicated to renewing Jewish tradition through engaged spiritual practice, meaningful study, and responsible social action.

Tisha b'Av: A Day of Mourning, and of Consolation
Tuesday, Aug 1st 4:00p to 6:00p
Jewish tradition designates the 9th day of the month of Av as the center of all collective mourning and grieving. This year we invite our community to come together to collectively witness and lament the destruction and desecration of the sacred, of the planet, and of human life that we see all around us. Through traditional liturgy, creative writing, and personal sharing we will focus in on our reasons to mourn, rather than trying to avoid or suppress our despair. -
