WELCOME to Congregation Rodef Shalom

We are a Conservative synagogue of under 400 families located in southeast Denver, in the heart of Denver's Jewish community. Our members represent a cross-section of the population, from our founding senior members and older recent residents to Denver, to families with children of all ages, single parents and their families, singles and couples  with diverse experiences and backgrounds, and many young people seeking connection to the Jewish community. We are proud to be one of the oldest Conservative congregations in Denver.

 
WHAT's NEW at Rodef Shalom
 
 Rodef Shalom and Jewish Family Services @
Home presents:
"How Do I Know if They Need Help: Knowing When to Honor Independence Balanced with Appropriate Interventions".
The community is invited to join the Rodef Shalom family on Sunday, January 29th at Rodef Shalom at 10:30 a.m. in the Social Hall. JFS Case Worker, Michele Weber, LSW will be the featured speaker at this informative, mulit-generational event.
Michele Weber, MSW, LCSW, started her career with a BFA in commercial art then expanded to undergraduate studies in psychology and gerontology. Michele earned a master's degree from the University of Denver where she specialized in clinical geriatric social work. While there she was awarded the New York Academy of Medicine and Hartford Foundation's Geriatric Social Work Fellowship. She then earned a certificate in Dementia Care from the Alzheimer's Association. Michele currently works as a geriatric care manager and counselor in the Senior Solutions department of Jewish Family Service. She lives in northwest Denver where she enjoys helping her neighbors who are aging in place. This is great information for anyone in the position of caring for an older relative. Coffee and bagels will be served.
Cost: $3.00 per person. RSVP to the office by January 20.
