-- Rebbe Shneour Zalman, born 1745

Dear $first,

Snow is falling outside my window, yet on the south side of the house the crocuses are blooming. Spring in Colorado -- and everywhere-- is a wonderful time to marvel at the ability of God's Creation to sustain itself. (And to do some spring skiing!)

Join us at Copper this Shabbat for a service. Last one of the season!

Kids? Do we have activites for kids! From babies on up. On March 19, join our family hikes for kids 4-8 and 9-12.

Women of all ages will enjoy the Rosh Chodesh celebration with Amy this Friday night.

L' Shalom,

Jamie
