Hanukkah Concert A Huge Success

The 2004 CAJE Family Hanukkah Concerts were a rockin' success. A
record-breaking 300+ individuals attended the December 5 concert at the Boulder JCC, packing into a cozy concert hall and singing along to Steve Brodsky and Friends. Rabbi Sheiner lit the menorah to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah, CAJE Executive Director Daniel W. Bennett welcomed the capacity crowd, and then the singing began! The Boulder JCC Preschool included the concert in its annual Hanukkah party and the audience included many from the Boulder Jewish Day School and many families from the Boulder area.

On Sunday, December 12, the songs and sounds of Hanukkah filled Cherry Creek Mall for the 10th annual CAJE Hanukkah Concert. Over 600 people crowded into and around the Kids' Kourt play area as Risa Buckstein, CAJE Associate Director, welcomed the community. Before the concert began, young writers were honored as winners of the Cowen Creative Writing Contest, and then Steve Brodsky and Friends rocked the Mall with an hour of song and celebration.
