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.

Dec 12Psalms - Brown Bag Series with Rabbi Diane Tiferet
Thursday, Dec 12th 12:00p to 1:00p
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi believed deeply that each of us have the capacity to communicate directly with God, yet often we are at a loss as to where to begin. What better place to begin our collective search than with our age-old prayers, the psalms (tehillim) of the Hebrew Bible?* This lunchtime brown bag series will explore four different psalms as a way into both a deeper understanding of the Jewish traditional texts and a deeper appreciation of our own souls’ yearnings. Over the centuries, the redactors of our prayer books (siddurim) have chosen particular psalms as part of the standardized liturgy, and Jewish Renewal has highlighted and elevated others through chants and songs. And yet there is so much more to uncover! We will begin our exploration this fall with Psalm 81, the psalm sung in Jerusalem by the Levites on Thursdays. In the next two sessions, we will turn our attention to Psalm 40 – a relatively unknown psalm – and Psalm 23 – a classic psalm of comfort. At our fourth meeting, we will discuss Psalm 30, traditionally associated with Chanuka, and also often recited as part of the morning liturgy. Ideally, we will come to build a sense of community through our sustained exploration of different psalms together over time. I also pray that our engagement with a variety of psalms will offer you a window into the tremendous richness to be found in these traditional texts of prayer. *No Hebrew is required. The texts will be provided both in Hebrew and in traditional and alternative English translations, including those of Rebbe Zalman himself. -
