THE STOWE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL IS GOING V-I-R-T-U-A-L!
Due to the need for social distancing measures, and because we all need more – and better – entertainment these days, the Stowe Jewish Film Festival is pleased to announce that, this year, our films will be offered to the community AT NO COST for you to view from the comfort of your home.
Each film is available to view from home over a three day period starting on the dates noted on the registration page for the individual films.
Although these films are FREE, if you would like to donate to the Stowe Jewish Film Festival you can do so HERE.

“Rescuers in the time of COVID-19 ”Vermont Student 2020 Essay Competition Vermont Holocaust Memorial invites Vermont students to honor an individual or group they may know or have encountered in their community, by sharing a story of modern day “rescue.” This may be a doctor, house of worship, nurse, grocery clerk, shopper, postman, neighbor, friend, organization, parent, delivery person – or others. Ordinary people CAN DO extraordinary things. This is the only way people survived during the Holocaust, and the way people will survive this current crisis. ..................................................
