Profiles of Jewish Life
Jewish Communities of Vermont aims to celebrate the diversity of Jewish lives in Vermont, from the least affiliated to those who may be leaders in a congregation, from Generation X ski bums to septuagenarian ski bums, from clergy to the purely secular --artists, farmers, businesspeople, students, teachers, builders!

Reading and creative writing have always been part of my life. The changing seasons, especially in this incredible corner of the world, fills me with absolute joy and happiness. Walking in the stillness of the snow, planting tulips with the kids, the sweet smell of the Lilac trees, eating tomatoes fresh from the vine, apple picking in the orchard, sitting in the sukkah under the stars... this is life!

Spencer Jarrett: A Profile in 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.”
Keith Marks: A Profile in Jewish Life
When I'm in a room with Jews, the intensity can go big and bold, but when I'm with a wider audience, I know I need to give space and maybe go a bit slower. I'm full of ideas, curiosity, and a sense of Tikkun Olam. That type of questing for making things better motivates me in all aspects of my life.
