1 Denver Jewish Tourist Guide Welcome to the Mile High City! We hope you enjoy your stay in Denver, CO. The Denver Jewish community is unique in that it is has a full Jewish infrastructure including Torah day schools, Yeshiva and Bais Yaakov high schools, kosher eateries and groceries, shuls, and mikvaos, while retaining that special out-of- town feel. The Denver Jewish community is also unique in that there are different areas where the Jewish community is concentrated, with the main communities centered in West Denver, East Denver, and Southeast Denver/Greenwood Village. In addition, there is a Jewish Bucharian community in Aurora, Colorado. While there is no shortage of activities for vacationing Torah families to enjoy in Denver and the surrounding areas, both indoors and especially outdoors, this tourist guide is not meant to provide information on what to do while in Denver. Rather, this guide seeks to provide information regarding Jewish amenities in Colorado, such as shul/minyan info, kosher food info and the like. This guide was created by the Denver Community Kollel. The Kollel was founded in 1998 with the mission of bringing Torah learning, Torah teaching and Torah living to Denver Jewry. We invite you to come learn in one of our two batei medrash during your stay here in Denver. These batei medrash are accessible at all times of day; for more information on accessing them, contact the Kollel office at 303-820-2855 or email [email protected]. The Kollel is also pleased to offer a Tourist Gemach. The gemach features common large items such as coolers, crock pots, hot plates and grills. Please contact the Kollel office at the aforementioned contact options. For more info and availability. To offer suggestions/feedback about this guide, please contact the Kollel office. Enjoy your stay!
