An exploratory meeting on growing a farm and garden at the DAT campus will take place on Wednesday December 16, from 7:30 PM to 9 PM at DAT.

We have the unique opportunity to utilize the dormant land north of the DAT campus and grow food and grow our community. If you are interested in getting involved, please join us at our first brainstorming/organizational meeting. We will discuss the opportunities and identify the tasks and the people to make this dream a reality.

For more information or to RSVP please contact Ilan Salzberg 720-319-7001. An RSVP is appreciated but not required.

The DAT Minyan was named the top-rated small Jewish nonprofit in the Mountain region in the inaugural list of top-rated Jewish non-profits. Visit the announcement page at http://www.greatnonprofits.org/jewish. Attached is the press release from GreatNonprofits

GreatNonprofits has launched the 2009 Jewish Choice Awards to recognize the top-rated Jewish nonprofits as rated by their users and stakeholders. This is an opportunity for you to help shine the spotlight on the DAT Minyan. This will help us greatly in our efforts to receive grant money as well as further promote the DAT Minyan nationwide. Please take a minute to post a review and share your experience and let others know how the DAT Minyan impacts your life on http://greatnonprofits.org/reviews/profile2/dat-minyan.

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.
