Liz Bienstock

Liz joined the Birthright Israel NEXT Colorado when she moved to Colorado from New York City. Looking to meet new friends and make Jewish connections, the events have provided a strong community and a home away from home. From Shabbat dinners, outdoor adventures and volunteer activities - she's having a blast!

Joel Rozansky

Joel is a Midwesterner who grew up in Milwaukee, WI.  A Jewish Summer Camp in the North woods of Wisconsin had a huge impact on who he is today including his connection to Judaism. Joel was highly active in the reconstuctionist synagogue in Milwaukee where he played most of the music for Shabbat and Holiday services.  Israel was calling after graduating from college. He traveled to Israel for 6 months to learn permaculture design, organic gardening, alternative building, and ecological design on Kibbutz Lotan's Green Apprenticeship program. Meet Joel Wednesdays at Ekar farm or at an event!

Ekar Farm

We want you to make our Jewish communal farm and garden a thriving place full of life and abundance. Get involved -- in the planting, cultivating, harvesting of organic produce. We meet Wednesdays from 3-7:00 p.m. to dig in the dirt. Enjoy a cold beverage and meet other young Jews. Community garden plots available!
