Rabbi's Weekly Message
Blessing of a free-spirit child!
August 30, 2024
Tuesday evening, after the younger kiddos were asleep, Chavie and I, along with Ezzy, went for a walk in our quiet neighborhood. We saw the magnificent sunset, caught up on our week and checked in with each other on some important things going on in our ever-overwhelming reality. It’s a constant balancing act, keeping our life afloat, putting out the fires that pop up, and ensuring that the community and our children get what they need from us. Chavie reminded me, as she always does, that we must recognize that Hashem knows exactly what He’s doing and what He’s placing on our plate.
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.
