MONTANA JEWISH PROJECT: SAVE THE DATE
Hello everyone,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m emailing two save the dates: one for the MAOR and MJP Purim Across Montana on March 2nd, and one for the MJP Shabbaton on June 26th-28th. Graphics for both events are attached and you are now free to share them as you wish.
I have the registration for Purim Across Montana here: REGISTRATION FOR PURIM ACROSS MONTANA The registration email includes the zoom link. (Rabbi Laurie and I will be reaching out for participants in the program in a few weeks.)
The link for the Shabbaton registration will go live in March once we’ve finalized location, cost, and other details. You are free to share the image attached at any time.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Kaelie

MOVING HELP WANTED: THIS WEEK END
Alaura and I were fortunate enough to have gotten a bedroom apartment at The Roberts Apartments. We have to move this weekend and desperately need help. I hate having to ask, but can any of you or do you know anyone who can help, especially if they have a truck that can carry a full size bed and the frame for it, a twin bed and the frame for it, a table, some shelving units. There’s also boxes of dishes, pots and pans, clothes, and other things.
If we are able to rent a U-Haul, would it be more likely that someone could help us move?
Thank you for reading this. Please let us know ASAP.

TORAH STUDY: ISRAEL SECURITY FILM
Dear community,
We all follow the debates—what Israel should give up, what it should hold, who to trust, when to act. Smart people disagree. The arguments go in circles.
A new film presents a straightforward framework based on timeless Jewish values that cuts through the noise. Not talking points. A coherent doctrine for thinking through Israel’s most impossible decisions.
Instead of hosting the monthly Torah study we will be watching the above video.
When: Monday January 12th
Time: 6pm
Please let me know if you’d like to participate.
RSVP HERE
Best,
— Rabbi Mendel Spiero, Great Falls, MT
