Rabbi's Weekly Message
Miracle in Billings!
February 7, 2025
On Sunday, after Chaya headed back to Chicago, Chavie and the kids joined me on a road trip to Billings to celebrate the 30th birthday of my colleague Rabbi Shaul and the third birthday of his daughter Zelda Rochel. Sitting at the Better Together event space, interacting with the growing community, listening to the spiritually nourished members of Billings Jewish community speak about their Shluchim, Rabbi Shaul and Mushky, was heartwarming. Moving to Billings, Missoula, Kalispell, or Great Falls, is courageous, embarking into the unknown, hoping for a miracle, and believing that Jews will be open to your message. Yet, when we choose to believe that the souls of Jewry are on fire and will be open to receiving the holiness, we merit supernatural blessings in all our endeavors.

Montana's Jewish voice

Quarterly publication by Chabad-Lubavitch of Montana
A mashup of thoughts, ideas, news, and stories about this unique outpost of Jewish life in the West. Remote Jewish communities are as old as time, but this remote Jewish community is young, vibrant, and growing. Our saga draws on age-old Jewish values, quintessential Western grit, and the idealistic fire of four Chabad Families. Curious, complex, and committed, they model the highs and lows of being human, the relevance of being Jewish, and simmering, lasting courage to perservere.

Life at war!
December 1, 2023
I don’t have the words to explain how it feels to be living through the last six weeks. Honestly, we are all living through it, so you don’t need my words to address your lived experience. Throughout these last few weeks, I was having this feeling like “I wish I had something to say”, “I wish I can put some of my feelings into words”, “I wish I had the talent to write something beautiful and inspiring to comfort and uplift my followers, friends, and community”. Somewhere deep down I knew that the time would come that I would have something to share, and all the while I found so much comfort in reading and sharing the beautiful thoughts and posts from others.
