Changes This Year

Additional Services
We will have a 2nd-day Rosh Hashanah service at West Village Meeting House as well as an afternoon Yom Kippur service (not a traditional Musaf service) this year. Each of these services will be less formal than the others, offering those who wish to continue praying together an opportunity to do so.

Potluck Dessert & Break-Fast
We will not hold our traditional erev Rosh Hashanah dessert potluck nor our community break-fast this year—we have grown too large and they have been difficult to staff. We will have a kiddush with challah, honey cake and wine, just after the Ne'ilah service.
If you would like assistance finding a break-fast to attend, please let us know: info@bajcvermont.org, and we will do our best to help you find one.

Food Collection

As is our tradition, we will be making available empty bags for contributions of non-perishables to the Brattleboro Drop-in Center. Our High Holiday offerings have been an important source of food for the Center and for needy folks in our area.
