The Boulder Jewish Festival, held one week after an antisemitic terror attack on the Pearl Street Mall, drew thousands of people celebrating culture and community. Organized by the Boulder Jewish Community Center for its 30th year, the festival saw its largest-ever turnout, with an estimated 15,000 attendees throughout the day.

Despite the recent trauma, festival attendee Ari Brattin emphasized the importance of coming together for healing and support. The Molotov cocktail attack that occurred on June 1 outside the Boulder County Courthouse left many injured, but the community showed resilience by gathering for the festival.

Extra security measures were in place at the festival, with police officers monitoring the event and sniper rifles positioned around the area. The festival continued as planned, showcasing Jewish culture through food, music, and art.

Rabbi Marc Soloway addressed the crowd with words of healing and hope, acknowledging the pain while emphasizing the community’s strength and love. The festival included traditional Jewish activities like the blowing of the shofar and a hora dance, as well as a solidarity walk in support of the hostages in Gaza.

The event served as a symbol of unity and resilience, with attendees coming together to celebrate Jewish culture and stand against hate. Despite recent tragedies, the community showed strength and compassion, embodying the spirit of hope and solidarity.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, the suspect in the attack, faces multiple criminal charges and remains in custody. The community looks forward to his upcoming preliminary hearing on July 15.
