INTERNATIONAL MARCH OF THE LIVING 2019
Shalom,
As many of you know, my sister, Marcia, has led high school aged groups to Poland and Israel as part of the March of the Living program for well over a decade. These programs are important and powerful. Now, an opportunity exists for adults to attend such a trip. If at all interested, please look at the attached information and contact: Stacey Sherwitz: stacey@motlmail.org for more information. I have it on good authority, that if this trip fills up, another may be offered.
To date, we have had one Montana teen attend the MOTL program. Please do consider this for your junior or senior high schooler/grandchild. It is an opportunity of a life time.

MONTANA JEWS FEATURED IN DOCUMENTARY
On behalf of There Are Jews Here, I invite you to watch the film’s national public television premiere on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2018, at 8/7c! The film will broadcast as part of the 2018 season of the Emmy-nominated documentary series
America ReFramed on the WORLD Channel.
There Are Jews Here takes you on a journey to places where most never imagined Jews existed: in small
towns like Latrobe, Pennsylvania; Dothan, Alabama; Butte, Montana; and, Laredo, Texas. In the wake of the tragedy in Pittsburgh, this story shifts our focus to Jewish persistence, community and continuity, offering
stories of strength and resilience.
Following the untold stories of the four once-thriving American Jewish communities, the film is both a celebration of tenacity and a warning that the legacies of such communities could be lost forever.
SPREAD THE WORD & TUNE IN!
While There Are Jews Here is about the Jewish people and tradition, the film speaks to the value and strength of America’s diversity. In sharing and listening to our nation’s many stories, we’re able to see that we’re bound by the same hopes for a better future.
Make There Are Jews Here a part of your gathering with family and friends during the holidays!
TUNE IN to America ReFramed on television on Dec. 4! (check local listings)
STREAM AND WATCH America ReFramed online for free starting Dec. 4: https://worldchannel.org/episode/arf-there-are-jews-here
