Sukkot Dance Party
Admission is free, however, donations are greatly appreciated. Donations can be made ahead of time using this link or at the door during the event.
Joe Alpar, well-known musician and Bennington College professor*, along with his ensemble, will treat you to lively Jewish music from the Middle East, Balkans, Eastern Europe and more. Their music will lift your spirits, gladden your heart, and coax you out of your seat and onto the dance floor!
Come and celebrate Saturday night of Sukkot with Havdalah, food and dancing.
This event is a collaboration between Brattleboro Area Jewish Community and Congregation Beth El of Bennington, supported by a Covenant Grant from Jewish Communities of Vermont.

Celebrate Sukkot with Living Tree!
Now in its 11th year, our Sukkot on the Farm festival brings together song, learning, nature, community, delicious food, and fun—all centered around the abundance of the fall harvest and the shelter of our creatively designed temporary dwelling, the sukkah.
This year’s highlights include:
Harvest Festival on Saturday afternoon, with sauerkraut making, apple pressing, and more
Saturday-night musical extravaganza, with harvest veggie soup from the farm, spirited havdalah, and a barn concert with Vermont’s own art-rock global spirit band, Billy Wylder
Come for the day, or bundle up and camp overnight! Note that event and camping tickets are separate—please read through the ticket options on the registration page carefully. Limited indoor sleeping accommodations are also be available; if you’re interested, please contact usdirectly for more info.
We’re delighted to have Rabbi David Fainsilber, of Jewish Communities of Greater Stowe, and Rabbi Aaron Philmus, of Ohavi Zedek, back this year to bring their voices and music to our programming. We’re also delighted to have Jewish Communities of VT with us for a pop-up sukkah-building contest on Sunday morning.
We’re grateful to our sponsors: JCVT, JCOGS, Ohavi Zedek, and Beth Jacob Synagogue, with support from Harold Grinspoon Foundation.

Rosh Hashana Park Bash
Rosh Hashana Park Bash
On the first day of Rosh Hashana, Thursday, October 3rd, join us at Hope Davey Memorial Park in Waterbury Center for a Rosh Hashana Park Bash and Shofar sounding. We'll be gathering at 5:00, but timing is fluid- feel free to drop by any time until 5:45. We can keep blowing the shofar! There will be sweet Rosh Hashana treats for all, activities for the kids, and apples and honey for dipping. Representing the themes of renewal and rejuvenation, the call of the shofar ushers us into the new year and recenters our connection with G‑d.
