    • Unfortunately, not until Rosh Hashanah. We are trying to organize Rabbi Ruz for sometime this Summer, but are unsure if we can get schedules to work. There are weekly shabbos services in Bozeman and Missoula, and bi-weekly services in Billings. Wish we had enough members to be more active.

    • There also will be services in Butte for the MAJCO (Montana Association of Jewish Communities) Shabbaton during the weekend of June 26. I know that a number of people from Great Falls are going to Butte for that weekend.
