JEWISH HIKE TO RODNEY MEADOWS AND BEYOND: 06/04/2023

EDITOR’S NOTE: This was submitted by Aaron Weissman.
From Wendy: If anyone is interested we can arrange carpools to Helena. We will let you know as it gets closer.

This hike is cosponsored by the Montana Jewish Project and the Great Falls Jewish Hikers.

We will be meeting at the Waterline Trailhead parking lot on Oro Fino Gulch Road at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 4.

We will go along Waterline to the middle trail (forget name at the moment), then to Rodney meadow, Rent Money, Top of the World, down Pinchot Trail, back down to Waterline and presto – we will have done about a 3 ½ or 4 mile loop. There will be a 10 minute Torah discussion about halfway through the route. Afterwards, some of us are going to grab a bagel.

I hope you’ll join us on June 4!

Detailed directions thanks to Claudia below.

    WE BURN LIKE THIS — MONTANA TOUR JUNE 9-16, 2022

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    Contact: Alana Waksman, Writer/Director/Producer
    alanawaksman@gmail.com
    Web site: https://www.webburnlikethis.com

    WE BURN LIKE THIS MONTANA TOUR
    Sponsored by Montana Film Office and Humanities Montana

    Filmed in Billings, Butte, and Missoula, Montana in 2019, and following its world
    premiere at the 2021 Santa Barbara International Film Festival, international premiere at
    Deauville American Film Festival, and year-long film festival tour, WE BURN LIKE THIS
    comes home to Montana audiences June 9-16th.

    WE BURN LIKE THIS Montana Tour kicks off on June 9th in Billings at the historic
    Babcock Theatre, with stops in Livingston, Bozeman, Anaconda, Kalispell, Helena, and
    the Roxy Theater in Missoula. Writer/Director/Producer Alana Waksman will be in
    attendance for Q&As following the screenings with cast and crew joining her for select
    showings.

    WE BURN LIKE THIS is a coming-of-age story of Rae (Madeleine Coghlan), a young
    Jewish woman living in Billings, Montana and is written, directed, and produced by
    Alana Waksman in her feature debut. The film stars Madeleine Coghlan (THE ROOKIE)
    and Gotham Award and Indie Spirit Award winner Devery Jacobs (RESERVATION
    DOGS). Also featured are Montana-based actors Kendra Mylnechuk, Casidee Riley,
    Angelo Rizzo, and Megan Folsom. The film is produced and edited by Billings native
    Marshall Granger, produced by Montana native Jeri Rafter, and executive produced by
    Peabody and Emmy award winning producer Neda Armian (RACHEL GETTING
    MARRIED, THE BALLAD OF LEFTY BROWN) and Eleanor Nett.

    When 22 year-old Rae, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is targeted by Neo-Nazis
    in Billings, Montana, her ancestors’ trauma becomes real. Inspired by true events, this
    coming-of-age story shows the inherited effects of historical trauma and the strength of
    survival and healing.

    Waksman’s own family history, as well as the spread of antisemitism in Montana, is
    what inspired her to write this story.

    WE BURN LIKE THIS is a recipient of the Big Sky Film Grant, Montana Arts Council
    Strategic Investment Grant, State Trade Expansion Program Grant from Montana
    Department of Commerce, Visit Billings Association Grant, and is now sponsored by
    Montana Film Office and Humanities Montana for its Montana Tour. WE BURN LIKE
    THIS received the Audience Choice Award at the 2021 Montana International Film
    Festival among other noteworthy awards this past year.
