The Jewish Community of Greater Stowe is a vibrant center of Jewish life in Northern Vermont.

Our mission is to create and sustain an environment that perpetuates and celebrates Jewish traditions, observances,
and sense of community.

Here, everyone is welcome. We are a fully inclusive, egalitarian, and independent congregation representing all branches of Judaism. Our community is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds, including interfaith, LGBTQ, and single-parent families. Some of us live here full-time, while others are part-timers or frequent visitors to the Stowe area. Under the leadership of Rabbi David Fainsilber, we come together to celebrate friendship and our shared Jewish heritage every Friday evening with Shabbat services followed by a lite oneg meal. Robust children and family programs include weekly Hebrew school, holiday events, and a monthly young families Shabbat.
