• Mah Jongg Challenge: Our own Mah Jongg Queen Lynda Siegel will oversee a competition of four players at each of five tables. (Must be able to play 4 games in an hour.)

• Relaxed Mah Jongg:Wendy Wiseberg will oversee players more interested in a slower pace and just coming out to play.

With deep ties to Burlington and Montpelier, Barre’s Jewish families nevertheless forged their own singular identity in a diverse environment of Yankees, Italians, French Canadians, Scots, Spanish, Syrians and other vibrant ethnic groups.

Dr. (and Rabbi) Carol Harris-Shapiro (who is also a part-time resident of Barre) will share some of the unique stories of Barre’s Jewish residents and the life of their community, based on information she has gathered from interviews, books and articles, and genealogical research.

Purim Celebration

Celebrate Purim and early spring in the sugarbush!

See an old-school sugar operation that the Crowley Family runs at Living Tree and share in the joy of fresh sap and syrup and the coming of spring. We’ll parade to wake up Mother Earth and honor the Jewish festival of Purim, and we’ll also celebrate with the traditional Purim customs of creating gifts for others and performing skits (in the sugarbush—Living Tree-style). Hibernation season is over, so lets celebrate! People of all faiths are welcome.

• Come in costume, if you’d like!

• Be prepared to walk down a muddy path to the sugar house.

• Bring cash or check to purchase fresh maple syrup to bring home or gift to someone.

Admission based on sliding-scale donation: $8–$25 per person or $18–$54 per family suggested. Funds support community programming and outdoor education.

HAPPY PURIM!

Temple Sinai Social Hall

Jewish students at many universities across the country are coping with skyrocketing antisemitism. Recent political fights in Burlington City Hall have spilled over to the UVM Campus, and many Hillel students are having a very difficult time. Recently,

Hillel Director Matt Vogel suggested some ways the local Jewish community can help support our local Hillel students, including bringing baked goods and sending cards and letters of support to students and campus administrators.

To help answer his call, Rabbi Edleson will be hosting a HAPPY HOUR FOR HILLEL. We'll provide cards, pens, mocktails, snacks, and more.  You bring a baked good and join us to write cards for this community mitzvah project.  All ages are welcome and needed.
