The Chabad of Boulder Catwalk
After rolling into Boulder with about 30 seconds till Shabbos, we made our way over to Chabad of Boulder County for Sabbath Services and a wholesome meal. However, the real fun started the next day, as the Morning Service turned into a wacky wild local fashion show, with local designers and models strutting their stuff all over the synagogue. The top three entries:
3. White Srugie clapping guy: All decked out with a long pony tail, tallis over his head, and beard, this guy RRReaally got into the davening. This cat checked in just in time to catch the end of krias shma, but was still able to get right into it. His clapping during the silent devotion ranged from somewhat rhythmic but still distracting to just really off. But hey, we're happy that he's a spiritual guy.
2. Vest man- This dude was the gabbai during Torah service, but left just before musaf. Classy. We think they flew him in just for the job. Big beard, slightly unconventional black hat (taken off before davening), a green shirt with a large floppy biege vest made him perfect for the mountain-jew role. The tzitzis and the bandanna around his neck really completed the ensemble.
And the winner is....
1. Arnie- Where do we start with this guy? A self-proclaimed street smart ex-new yorker, he was sporting a hawian shirt that almost covered his protruding stomach, but not quite. He also had on jean shorts, stylishly exposing his big, round, calves. A slightly folded up velvet kippa was perched precariously on his shock of silvery grey hair. He had an abnormally strong kesher with a young Israeli Lubav, who was only there for that Saturday. Arnie was nice enough to give us a ride when Shabbos was over.
Move over Versace, the Chabad of Boulder County is the fashion capital of the world!
