Hi There,

We're a group of young Rabbis who travel across the western slope of the Colorado Rockies each Chanukah, bringing the warmth, joy, and light of the holiday to mountain communities along the way.

Our mission is simple: to ensure that every Jew in the Rockies, whether local or passerby, can celebrate this beautiful festival with joy, pride, and community.

Inspired by the Lubavitcher Rebbe's worldwide Chanukah campaign, our menorahs — standing at nearly 9,000 feet — are among the highest in the world, joining over 15,000 public menorahs across the globe as beacons of hope, Jewish pride, and the triumph of light over darkness.

Come join us, and let's brighten the Rockies together!

Our first Purim in the Rockies

This past Purim, our mission grew beyond Chanukah. We brought family-friendly Purim celebrations to Jewish locals and tourists in Crested Butte, Telluride and Durango, so every Jew in the Rockies could celebrate with joy, pride and community.
