Boulder Jewish Festival moves forward with heightened security after attack

The Boulder Jewish Festival will focus on community healing after an attack last weekend targeting Run for Their Lives demonstrators. Organizers have reimagined the event to center the group’s fight for Israel’s Gaza hostages, while heightened security measures are in place to ensure safety amid increased police and SWAT presence. The attack, which involved 15 victims including a Holocaust survivor, has deepened tensions amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and Shavuot celebrations, heightening antisemitism in the U.S.
