FOUNDER'S DAY WEEKEND July 23-26 Congregation Aaron · Trinidad, Colorado. EST. 1883
WEEKEND CELEBRATION HONORS TEMPLE AARON’S FOUNDERS
Celebrations across the state this year mark Colorado’s 150th anniversary of statehood—and Temple Aaron of Trinidad has witnessed nearly all of that history. On Founder's Day Weekend, July 23-26, 2026, Temple Aaron will celebrate 143 years since the foundation of its congregation in 1883, when the founding members of Congregation Aaron began gathering in their homes and shops in Trinidad, Colorado.
Temple Aaron will celebrate this auspicious occasion with a weekend of events beginning Thursday, July 23, and all are invited to attend:
On May 19, 2026, the City of Trinidad issued a proclamation recognizing July 23 as "Temple Aaron Founder's Day" in commemoration of the founding of Congregation Aaron on that date in 1883. The temple itself would be constructed 6 years later through the dedicated efforts of its congregation. This summer, Temple Aaron is delighted to honor those founders who created Temple Aaron of Trinidad Colorado as a Jewish spiritual home and gathering place open to all.
