Riding out the thunderstorm!
July 22, 2024
It’s rare, but we pulled it off. To celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary and Chavie’s upcoming 40th birthday, we managed to get away. Two kids in New York, two kids in Texas, and Shoshana running solo, we got away for a week to a home on the water, where we can rejuvenate with peace and quiet. Overlooking the water, we saw calm seas and high tides, thunderstorms and blue skies, blue water and green water, cloudy days and sunny days. It’s constantly changing and awe-inspiring to watch. The Creator and Director of this magnificent world knows what is needed at every specific moment and acts accordingly.
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.
