Vermont Holocaust Memorial
Two "Vermont Holocaust Studies Act" bills are pending in the Vermont legislature: H.294 (House) and S.87 (Senate) have been introduced this session and are awaiting further testimony from interested parties. Please reach out to your local representatives and senators (especially those on the Education Committees) to show your support for this important subject to be standardized in your schools' curriculum.
PJ Library
PJ Library in Vermont is a program of Jewish Communities of Vermont.
We provide Jewish children's books to families across Vermont each month.
PROFILES OF JEWISH LIFE
I think rural Jews have a unique perspective. We don’t take Yiddishkeit for granted. Jewish communities are diverse and spread out, which means that community-building requires time, acceptance, and love.
Jewish Communities of Vermont Blog
“When we think of Vermont we don’t immediately think of Jewish life. Living here as a Jew, it can be easy to feel distant and disconnected from Jewish community, particularly if you don’t live near a town with a synagogue. JCVT, under the inspired leadership of Susan Leff, has worked tirelessly and effectively to bring our people together from the four corners of Vermont to make connections, build community, and support Jewish life in the Green Mountains.”
Governor's Inauguration Brachah
Coming together in the midst of winter's chill,
help us, G-d of Life,
to feel the warmth among us
gathering by the civic haarth (hearth),
as we wish mazel tov, from the Hebrew, “good luck”
to Governor Scott, the statewide officers, and the legislators
in their positions serving Vermonters.
As I consider my words before these elected officials,
I keep thinking about some conversations with folks in Vermont—
each of them also created in Your image—
conversations that are keeping me up at night,
and that call me to action.
