Service Leadership: Jan Salzman and Kate Judd
We are blessed to have Rabbi Jan Salzman and Kate Judd to help us create services that we know will be meaningful to all. BAJC member Kate Judd, who continues her training in Jewish Liturgical Music, has provided cantoral services through many deeply moving prayers during High Hoidays, and services throughout the year. We have also been blessed by Kate's instruction of our b'nei mitzvah class this past year.
 Rabbi Jan Salzman will receive her rabbinic ordination, in January 2010, through Aleph, which is the rabbinic seminary of Jewish Renewal, a transdenominational form of Judaism. She has also studied at Hebrew College, Spertus College, and Dartmouth College. With her strong voice and upbeat spirit, she has the ability to open and deepen for individuals and communities their nascent or fully emerged Jewish identities.
She has served as the director of the B’nai Mitzvah program at Dartmouth College’s Upper Valley Jewish Community, where she worked, through a family-based program that she created, to improve the learning and engagement of the B’nai Mitzvah students and their parents. For 30 years, she has served the Jewish community through High Holiday services, a Rosh Chodesh group, private tutoring, educational experiences, spiritual direction counseling, and a passionate commitment to re-engaging the affiliated and unaffiliated Jew.
Jan is ordained as a Mashpia Ruchanit/Spiritual Director, following a 3-year training program. She was awarded a Masters degree in Public Health from the University of Illinois, a BA from Beloit College, and has been a certified organic farmer; she has run a number of businesses, which included food catering and an independent landscaping business.
In addition to leading all our High Holiday services, Jan will be sending helpful emails to our mailing list during the month of Elul to prepare for the upcoming services. Would you like to be added to our mailing list? Email us at website@bajcvermont.org and we'll add you to the list!
Break-Fast
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.
Child Care
We will not be providing child care during services.
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. This year the Drop-In Center is also looking for donations of clean winter outerwear in good condition.
