Whether you are a beginner to kashrut observance or a seasoned veteran of keeping kosher, this is the class for you.

In today’s world, the educated kosher consumer must delve into basics of both yoreh deah (the complex ritual laws of kashrut) as well as have an understanding of modern food technology and the kashrut industry’s involvement in that world.

This three part series, taught by Rabbi Daniel Alter, will cover all of the above, focusing on keeping a kosher kitchen as well as shopping for a kosher kitchen.

The class meets January 27th, February 3rd and February 10th at 7:30pm at DAT. Click here to RSVP

As many of you are aware, we have been working diligently to promote the Denver Orthodox Jewish community to people across the country. These efforts have been very well received. We are currently in the process of following up with interested families to see how we can help them take the next step.

As you can imagine, many of these decisions will be financially driven. The biggest question for people right now is regarding the availability of jobs. There are a significant number of families that would be ready to move provided they would be able to find employment.

Please see the attached schedule for Sukkot.
