Hundreds attend Boulder Jewish Festival 1 week after Colorado attack
The sound of the shofar kicked off the festivities as hundreds of people attended the Boulder Jewish Festival on the Pearl Street Mall on Sunday. It was the 30th anniversary of the festival and one week after a man allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a group that walks every Sunday to advocate for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. "We've been singing and dancing, crying a bit, and coming together and celebrating what it means to be community," said Simcha Schwartz. "We have to respond with joy and action to hate, and so that's what's happening." The mood was a mix of somber and joyous. People remembered those injured in last Sunday's terror attack in the same spot on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall with a reading of their names.

But attendees also celebrated being Jewish and shared their culture with those who came but were not Jewish. "It's just important to show love and compassion in every community. And I happen to be a part of the Jewish community that I know and love and respect, but I think it's important for everybody to show compassion and unity in times, especially, that are difficult like right now," said David Winterstein. The event has been planned for months, but given last week's attack, there was extra security, which attendees say was a blessing but also a curse. "There's a lot of people that feel maybe scared, concerned about the fact that there's so much security, that there has to be that much security," said Bigelow.

"We have to show up, we have to speak up, and we need to make people realize that now is the time to speak up for everybody in our communities. We're all human beings," said Bigelow.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations are in full swing this weekend in downtown Dayton. Thousands of people routinely attend Pride here, and some members of the community spoke with 2 NEWS about why the celebration matters to them. 'You feel loved for exactly who you are, accepted for exactly what you are. Nothing more, nothing less,' said Brandon Beck. 'I'm here for all of the people that have been marginalized in any way, that have been made to feel less than or outside of the community that we have as humans.' LIST: Pride Month events in the Miami Valley Beck shared how finding community feels. 'It feels incredible. It feels like you found your people. It feels like you're in exactly the right spot you need to be,' said Beck. 'People deserve to be loved. And to be celebrated. And to be valued. That's a culmination of all this, it's beautiful.' Pride on Fifth has offered resources for attendees all weekend, including an on-site therapist. 2 NEWS spoke with Rachel Sanabria-Brindley, a licensed counselor at Hearthstone Psychology. 'I like coming out here because it does encompass a lot of what I do at work, which is providing a safe space for people who potentially feel like they do not have a safe space,' said Sanabria-Brindley. 'You never know what might help you and if it helps you and it's safe, it's not harmful for anyone. Let's go for it.' To learn more about Dayton Pride, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
