2. Boulder JCC Community Profile:
Metamorphosis from Caterpillar to Chava
The Goldstein-Lincoln family relocated to Boulder soon after the
birth of their daughter, Isabella, first known as Izzy, but now known
as Chava. At two and a half years old, she became a Caterpillar
at the Boulder JCC Preschool, where although timid at first, Izzy
came alive! She delighted in the rituals of Shabbat and the holiday
celebrations. Together the family learned the Shabbat songs and
prayers and incorporated those rituals at home. While at the
Boulder JCC Preschool, Izzy met another little girl named Chava
and was taken with her energy and confidence. Izzy’s parents,
Brian and Robin, explained that her own Hebrew name was Chava. BJCC Preschool Caterpillar Graduate
Chava Goldstein-Lincoln
A year later, Izzy transferred to the Friends’ School. While she enjoyed the new children and activities, she
missed the Boulder JCC Preschool environment. She also missed being with other Jewish kids. As Izzy
approached her fifth birthday, she awoke one morning and declared that her name was now Chava. Her
parents thought it was a good nickname, but she assertively replied, “Chava is not a nickname. It is my
real name.” She informed her teachers and her friends of her new name. The following week she changed
her name on her cubby. When asked why she decided to change her name, she responded that she wanted
to be called by her Jewish name. Despite or questions from children and adults about this change, she
has remained steadfast. Chava is now turning six, and, at her request, the family are members of a local
synagogue and attend a family-oriented Sunday School. They honor Shabbat and the Jewish holidays with
prayer, challah and song, and joyfully refer to their daughter as Chava — life!

James travels from his small African village to
Israel, where he hopes to lay eyes on Jerusalem. But
his pilgrimage is cut short at Tel Aviv immigration,
where his tale of spiritual hunger is written off
as a veiled attempt to make money. Directed and
co-written by Israeli documentarian Ra’anan
Alexandrowicz, the movie shows how our best

rapidly go awry when money, responsibility
and even organized religion come into play.

Chidush Awards
Are you a creative thinker? An inspiring teacher? We’re looking for you …
Join us to celebrate Jewish Education at the Chidush Awards Event
Thursday, April 19, 7pm at the Chautauqua Community House
with special guest Peter Asher Pitzele.
Peter Asher Pitzele is the founder of Bibliodrama and Biblio-therapy. He has a Ph.D. from
Harvard, has taught as an adjunct faculty member for the Jewish Theological Seminary in
New York , and is Dean of Faculty for Storahtelling. Situated somewhere between school and
theater, between the pulpit and the stage, Bibliodrama is a form of role-playing that invites
participants to find their voices in the text and the text’s voice in themselves.
Boulder’s Jewish educators will be invited to a teacher training event and dinner before the
event. Watch for more detailed information in the next Community Page.
