Join us for this year’s Jewish Days of Giving, May 18-20, 2026!

Being part of Jewish Explorers, a program of JEWISHcolorado, means more than attending our program — it means showing up for Jewish life, for community, and for one another. Your participation helps shape experiences that are fun, engaging, and meaningful.

During Jewish Days of Giving, $100,000 in matching funds are available, allowing every gift made during these three days to go twice as far in sustaining and strengthening Jewish Explorers’ impact.

One of our Jewish Explorers families recently shared, “Thank you for creating a warm and welcoming space for our children and family. We are grateful for the kindness you show our children (and our family) and for the fun and creative learning opportunities that help shape our children’s Jewish identity, connections to Judaism and community. We love how much our children love coming to Jewish Explorers!”

We invite you to support the continued impactful work of Jewish Explorers by making a gift during our Jewish Days of Giving campaign. Gifts of all amounts are welcome and appreciated.

To make a gift, visit us at https://www.coloradogives.org/donate/JEWISHcolorado and in the “designation box dropdown” choose Jewish Explorers. In the comments box write, "Donation to Jewish Explorers"

Thank you for your generosity, for making a gift to help strengthen and sustain Jewish Explorers, and for helping us create a community where everyone feels welcome, connected, celebrated, and like they truly belong.

Feeling immense gratitude for everyone who joined us for JEWISHcolorado’s Celebrate Israel and visited with us at our Family Engagement tent to decorate heart-shaped rocks with our Jewish Explorers & PJ Library programs. In keeping with this year’s theme, Lev Echad, One Heart - Here, There & Everywhere, everyone was invited to share their decorated rocks with family and friends here in Colorado and our friends in Ramat HaNegev, our partnership region, to show our love for and that we stand “heart to heart” with them always!
