Rabbi's Weekly Message
Trust me!
November 22, 2024
On Wednesday I made a quick stop at Town and Country and ran into Richard, AKA Nachman, who I haven’t seen since before Covid. I was genuinely curious about his well being, and we ended up having a short Farbrengen right in front of the Pea Milk refrigerator. He shared with me that his great-great-grandparents were living in Richmond during the Civil War when the Union forces besieged the Confederate capital. He mentioned that many gentiles hid their gold and silver with his grandparents as they felt the Jews would be left unharmed in the conflict and knew that they could trust them.
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.
