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!

Spencer Jarrett: A Profile in Jewish Life

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.
