Jewish Community of Greater Stowe

Dear JCOGS family,

Tonight, with the warmer weather, we will pray again out in the tent. When the weather is nice, the consensus among attendees has been how lovely it is to be out in nature. Truly a Vermont way to pray! Please join us at 6p.m., followed by a delicious outdoor oneg. When the weather cooperates, we’ll plan to be out there for the coming warm seasons.

On Wednesday at 7p.m., our JCOGS green team is hosting Efficiency Vermont and the Stowe Electric Department, in person and online, to help our members and the broader community improve their home energy efficiency. RSVP HERE.

Gaining any traction on combating the climate crisis can feel defeating. The greatest existential issue of our time, and not enough is being done. But each of us can make a difference. If you own a home, please come to learn how to stay warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and save money.

As Rabbi Tarfon famously said: “We are not required to finish the work, yet neither are we free to desist from it.” Weather permitting…

Tihiyu bri’im, be well. Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi David
