Newcomer to Denver Group - Are you new to Denver and looking for places to go and people to hang out with? This group is for you! With so many people moving to Denver, we are looking to form groups of people in similar demographics who want to enjoy Denver with you!

Social Justice/Social Action - What keeps YOU up at night? Do you have an interest in reproductive rights, food insecurity, civil rights, voting rights or separation of church and state?

Traditional Groups
These groups are ongoing with a permanent structure.
Sisterhood
Sisterhood provides an opportunity for women to make a connection with other Jewish women within our Temple community. Sisterhood members connect spiritually, culturally and intellectually through social events, Shabbat retreats and services, fundraising activities and Jewish experiences. Sisterhood supports all youth of the congregation through monthly Young Family Shabbat Experience worship services (formerly Tot Shabbat), Religious School support and connections to college youth.
Whether you are single or married, with or without children, born Jewish, a Jew by Choice or a non-Jew married to someone who is Jewish...without you, we are one woman short. We invite YOU to join us!
Brotherhood
Brotherhood provides a place for the men of Temple to get to know each other and help enrich our synagogue and the greater Denver community. Although we are perhaps best known for our Sunday lox and bagel brunches where we host a speaker and provide breakfast, we are a lot more than that. Among other things, we oversee two college scholarship funds, conduct an annual blood drive, sponsor a team in the citywide synagogue softball league, organize trips to professional sporting events, work on Habitat for Humanity builds, run the grill to provide food at the Mitzvah Day and Fall Back to School BBQs, and sponsor an award called the Milstein Award for the Outstanding Male Confirmand. Most of our events are open to the entire Temple community. We are always looking for new members.
Kavod on the Road (Senior Programs)
Kavod On The Road partners with synagogues and agencies across the Denver metro area bringing programs and services to Jewish community ageless adults from 50 to 100 years. All are invited to join us regardless of institutional affiliation. Together partnering with area agencies, synagogues, and community centers, Kavod on the Road offers programming, activities, and education. We also partner to offer quality and unique resources, including an annual conference, monthly community publications, and support for grassroots programs.
