Join Jewish Communities of Vermont (JCVT) for the 2026 Statewide Summit, a statewide gathering bringing people together from across Vermont for a day of learning, creativity, and connection in Jewish community. Set against the beauty of Stowe, this Summit—our first in-person statewide gathering since 2019—welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds for a vibrant Sunday experience grounded in Jewish culture, ideas, and relationship.

We are thrilled to feature keynote speaker Noah Dines, Stowe legend and world record holder, who will share how Jewish ritual and the wisdom of our sages inspired him along his extraordinary journey to ski more than three million vertical feet.

Sunday is the heart of the Summit, offering a full conference-style day at Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa with something for everyone: engaging workshops across a variety of topics, children’s programming, an artisans hall, a catered lunch, and a closing campfire kumzitz that brings the community together in song and shared experience.

For those who wish to deepen the experience, the Summit also offers an add-on Shabbaton, beginning Friday evening with a joyful musical Shabbat at the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe (JCOGS). Saturday provides multiple pathways for engaging with Shabbat, including a traditional yet pluralistic service, a meditative nature walk, Torah study with a scholar, and a lively Tot Shabbat for families with young children, or just hanging out at the pool and spa which will be available all weekend. Saturday evening, in honor of JCVT’s 13th year, we’ll gather for a celebratory b’mitzvah after-party—marking the milestone with music, gratitude, and the biggest hora Vermont has ever seen.

Registration details coming soon. In the meantime, mark your calendars and reserve your rooms—discounted lodging is available at Stoweflake Resort

Whether you join us for Sunday’s learning and connection or choose to take part in the full Shabbaton experience, the JCVT Statewide Summit is an opportunity to gather as a statewide Jewish community—rooted in Vermont, connected to one another, and looking toward the future together.
