Chanukah Scavenger Hunt!
Chanukah Scavenger Hunt!
Since we can't gather in person for a big Chanukah party this year, we thought it would be fun to encourage you to celebrate in some new, fun ways, like a Beth Jacob Chanukah Scavenger Hunt!
Here is how it works: - For every item you check off on the list below, Beth Jacob Synagogue will donate a food item to the Montpelier Food Bank.
- If you complete 8 of the 10 items on the list, Mazel Tov! You have the choice of a prize of $18 towards your favorite downtown shop, or Beth Jacob will make an $18 donation towards the Vermont Food Bank in your name.
- If you complete 8 of the 10 items on the list, you will also be entered into a raffle to win a year of free BJ programs!
** We will be awarding prizes partly based on the honor system, and partly based on sending in pictures of you completing items! Please send pictures to Sarah at programming@bethjacobvt.org **

Starting in silent movies and extending to today’s hit series “Menasha” and “Unorthodox,” Yiddish language films started as an attempt to entertain the Jewish masses only to become a powerful visual and esthetic record on 20th/21st century Jewry. Covering over a dozen films all with newly composed sub-titles, author/producer Henry Sapoznik and Rick Winston, Vermont's favorite movie maven, talk not only about the great stars of the Yiddish stage and screen (Molly Picon, Maurice Schwartz) but also shed light on the nearly lost legacy of pioneers like producer/director Joseph Seiden and director Edgar G. Ulmer (better known for his gritty, low budget film noirs) who helped will Yiddish films into existence despite tremendous odds during its brief “Golden Age” In addition to films made by and for the immigrant Jewish community, their talk will also focus on how Yiddish was presented in mainstream Hollywood films featuring James Cagney, Joe E. Brown and the Three Stooges. Sign up below! -
