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.”
