Let's come together as one Montana-wide Jewish community on Friday, October 4th at 6pm MT to celebrate Shabbat Shuva, the "Sabbath of Return" between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Register here (at no cost): montanajewishproject.charityproud.org/EventRegistrat…

Thanks to @DarrellEhrlick for more great reporting! At MJP we'd still like to find a way to talk with Mr. Sheehy. It's only by talking--without judgement, labels, or partisan politics--that we can understand one another and create a better Montana. dailymontanan.com/2024/08/07/jew…

We're hiring! If you or someone you know would be a good fit, contact us! docs.google.com/document/d/1HR…

On this 75th anniversary of the Mann Gulch fire, we've shared a tribute to smokejumper David Navon. You can read it on our Facebook page. facebook.com/montanajewishp…

Join us for our 3rd annual Pride Shabbat on August 2! We will have gender-inclusive blessings at 5:30, rainbow challah from Dear Potato, and signature cocktails from @GulchDistillers. The event will be at Gulch Distillers and you can stop in anytime between 5-8pm.

We are excited to introduce "L’dor Vador: Living Stories of Jewish Montana." Long-time, award-winning, Helena-based journalist Clay Scott will lead a small group training this week on collecting stories. Our first intern, Nathan, will be helping us launch this project.

The Helena and Great Falls Jewish communities are teaming up for a hike! The trail is 6 miles, rated "easy," and located about 1.5 hours from Helena and about the same distance from Great Falls. Please contact Wendy.J.Weissman@gmail.com before 6/29 to receive the location.

Tom Buchanan at @KTVHNews shared the story of the return of Temple Emanu-El's menorah, which was all due to the generosity of our community members. ktvh.com/news/refurbish…

We're proud that our director, Rebecca Stanfel, and Helena Jewish community member Dr. Greg Holzman, attended the National Summit on Combatting Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Related Forms of Hate in Rural America this week. 3newsnow.com/west-omaha/bui…
