CHRISTMAS AT THE MERCY HOME
Now that thanksgiving is over, it is time to think about the Jewish community covering Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the mercy home.
The mercy home is a 24/7 woman’s domestic violence shelter. The Jewish community covers Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so that the staff can spend the holiday with their own families.
We usually cover the following shifts. Please let me know if you are able to help. Because this is a woman’s shelter, men can only volunteer when accompanied by a woman.
- Sunday, 12/24: 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
- Sunday, 12/24: 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
- Monday, 12/25: 8:00 am to 11:00 am
- Monday, 12/25: 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
- Monday, 12/25: 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Shift times may be changed to accommodate volunteers schedules if necessary.
Please call or text wendy at 406 868 5712 or email wendy@weissman.com if you can help. Don’t worry if you are a new volunteer – we will get you a quick orientation and training before hand.
Thank you so much! The mercy staff appreciates any time we can donate to them.
IN CELEBRATION OF JEWISH ECOLOGY AWARENESS DAY
In advance of the upcoming Tu B’shevat holiday, the Montana Jewish Project (MJP) is so excited to spread the word about Congregation Har Shalom’s (Missoula) new book study group, which will be discussing Rabbi Ellen Bernstein’s “The Splendor of Creation: A Biblical Ecology.”
Focusing on distinctly Jewish approaches to the current environmental crises, this group will meet virtually each Monday at 7pm, starting on January 23, for eight sessions of discussion-based study, facilitated by Dr. Jim Hatley (Professor of Environmental Studies at Salisbury University) and Kaleb Cohen (current M.A. student in Environmental Philosophy at the University of Montana).
We’d like to help built an opportunity for Jews across Montana TO engage in this. If you are interested in participating in this book study group, please reach out to Kaleb at kaleb.cohen@umontana.edu
