Quotes & Testimonials

“The new Jewish Center promises to embrace Judaism in Aspen for generations to come. Its ‘meaning’ to the Jewish community here is exceeded only by the understated leadership and quiet confidence of Rabbi Mendel and Lieba Mintz. They are the bond that connects life in Aspen to Jewish life in Aspen. We met Rabbi Mendel and Leiba two years ago at the JCC Hanukkah skate party. Their appealing warmth, kindness, spirituality, friendship, sincerity and family-devotion is what attracted us—but their authenticity is what convinced us. We are proud to support their efforts in this worthy purpose.” — Kimberly and Bradley Schlosser

“I want everyone who lives in or visits Aspen to know the warm hospitality that glues our Jewish community together. I first experienced this when I took my one-year-old to a ‘Mommy and Me’ class with Lieba—it felt like family, and I didn’t want to leave. The remarkable, countless educational and outreach programs are the reason why we support the center.” — Inna Effress
