A Glezele Tey (Yiddish for “a little glass of tea”) invites you into their living room for a little glass of tea from the samovar, bringing audiences into an intimate and enthralling world of klezmer, Yiddish folk song, and tkhines (traditional Ashkenazi prayers centering the experiences of women, trans, and gender non-conforming people, set to new melodies). Drawing from old recordings and contemporary culture rooted in the Eastern European Jewish diaspora, A Glezele Tey’s music is an act of deep care—rooted in community gathering, lineage, and ritual. We raise our collective voices to move through grief, inspire action, and build a frayer velt (a freer world). A Glezele Tey is comprised of acclaimed klezmer musicians and composers Ariel Shapiro, Rachel Leader, and Richie Barshay. For more information on this group go here.

Jew Crew Goes to Boston!
We are gearing up for another Jewish trip with teens from multiple Vermont and New Hampshire congregations! This year we are exploring Boston on Veteran’s Day, Tuesday November 11th.
Meet to take the 7:40 am Dartmouth Coach, arriving South Station 10:30 am
11-11:30 am Visit New England Holocaust memorial
11:30 - 12:30 pm Eat lunch at the Kosher Milk Street Cafe, ice cream at JP Licks (also kosher)
1 pm Tour of Vilna Shul and Jewish Beacon Hill
3 pm tea party with teens from Sinai in Brookline
4:30 pm Mayyim Hayyim tour
Take the bus home at 6:30 pm, arriving Hanover at 9:30 pm
The cost is estimated to be $190 per person, which includes transportation on the Dartmouth Coach and Boston T Subway, lunch, snacks, and tours of the shul and the mikvah. (Those using alternate transportation would pay $55 less). The Harriet Feinberg matching teen grant provides a $90 subsidy to each Kol Ha’Emek teen so their cost will be $100 total. Other congregations may also have funds to subsidize teens participating on the trip–please ask your leader. If the cost is lower, we will return the extra to families.
Melissa Herman of Kol Ha’Emek will be leading the trip, with support from educators at other congregations in VT and NH.
If you are interested in participating, please fill out this form and send a deposit of $100 to Kol Ha’Emek, 5 Occom Ridge, Hanover NH 03755, Attn: Teen Trip to Boston. Balances will be due on October 17.

AMONG NEIGHBORS
Shows at 2 & 6 Tickets: $8 matinee $10 evening Seniors and students $8 all shows
AMONG NEIGHBORS, a new, award-winning documentary that has been recently released in New York, is coming to the Middlebury Marquis Theatre on October 22!
Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash (“Crime After Crime,” Sundance Film Festival) and Executive Produced by Anita Friedman, “Among Neighbors” is an evocative and heart-pounding murder mystery with urgent political relevance. This outstanding film tells an incredible story of a town where history has been silenced, but a brave eyewitness to murder speaks out in search of the Jewish boy she loved.
The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on the only living Holocaust survivor from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there, not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.
