Stronger Together

An Evening Celebrating 33 Years of Denver Academy of Torah

Tuesday, May 19th • Denver Metro

Thirty-three years ago, a vision took root. Tonight, we celebrate everything it has grown into — the students, the families, the educators, the alumni, and the community of supporters who have shown up, year after year, to make Denver Academy of Torah extraordinary.

Join us for an elegant evening of cocktails, cuisine, and celebration as we mark this milestone together. The night will feature handcrafted cocktails and mocktails, beautifully curated heavy appetizers, and a culminating live performance by Zusha - the world-renowned ensemble that weaves ancient Jewish melodies, and Chassidic niggunim into modern soundscapes.

But more than anything, this evening is about you — the people who make DAT not just a school, but a community, the people who have taught us what it truly means to be Stronger Together.

Chazak chazak v'nitchazek.

Event Guide
Annual Event FAQ

Denver Academy of Torah Annual Event 2026

Q1

Will this annual event be like previous years?

Yes and no! This year, we are excited to have a theater-style seated concert, featuring the acclaimed band Zusha, instead of a typical banquet-style dinner. Before the concert, there will still be ample food and beverage stations throughout the reception area! Ahead of the feature performance, we will begin the program with inspiring updates about DAT and our incredible students, like we usually do at our annual event.

We are excited for the new format to create a warmer, family-friendly atmosphere, while maintaining the elevated feel of an annual event. Attire will be Colorado Cocktail.

Q2

Is this event for the whole family?

Typically, DAT's Annual Event is primarily for adults, however due to the exciting nature of this year's concert, we are also welcoming students to attend (limited student tickets are available for purchase).

Q3

Are students going to be in the same space as the adults?

During the reception, the students will be in a separate room with supervision and their own food and activities. They must be accompanied by an adult to attend the event, but all adults can enjoy the reception while students have their own programming. Everyone will come together for the program and concert.

Q4

When and where exactly is the annual event?

Exact details are being withheld for security purposes. We have started sending the time and location out to those who have registered and been vetted, and will continue to do so on a regular basis until the day of the event.

Q5

Why should I attend the annual event?

The annual event is one of the only times that parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, staff, friends, and supporters come together to celebrate and show appreciation for the school community and all DAT provides its students, the future of our Jewish community. This event is open to the entire Denver Jewish community.

Q6

Is the annual event a fundraiser?

Yes! All funds raised from the Annual Event go toward DAT's annual campaign, which is a critical component of DAT's annual operating budget. Tuition dollars alone do not cover the cost of a high-quality general and Judaic studies education rooted in Torah values.

This funding helps provide our students opportunities in STEM, sports, the arts, community engagement, leadership initiatives, service projects, real-world internships, and engaging Israel programming. Funds raised also help ensure that a DAT education is accessible to the broader Jewish community of Denver.

It takes the generosity and commitment of a strong and united community - including parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni families, and community members - to ensure DAT's ability to provide students a foundation for Jewish life and prepare our alumni to be the next generation of Jewish leaders.

We look forward to seeing you on May 19!
