Rabbi's Weekly Message
Feedback!
January 11, 2025
It doesn’t matter who you are; we are all incentivized by positive feedback. Whether from a child, friend, spouse, parent, neighbor, or congregant; receiving encouraging words goes a long way. I’ve been writing weekly emails for over two decades, with close to twelve hundred weekly Torah thoughts, yet I still appreciate the conversations and feedback that I get to enjoy with readers from around the world. Earlier this week I received a beautiful text from Daniel, a reader in Connecticut, who wrote “I’m a big fan of your weekly emails! They share a practical human perspective woven through Lubavitch philosophy. Keep up your amazing work!”.
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.
