Deeply concerning that MT State Senator Jeremy Trebas @bluesaint24 reposted antisemitic vitriol (blood libel trope) to his social media. At a time of rising antisemitism, the words and actions of elected officials have consequences for the Jewish community and beyond.

Thanks to @Acosta for having @OfficialMLK3, @ArndreaKing, and myself on to discuss the work that must be done to put a stop to the racist hate we witnessed yesterday in Jacksonville. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us. We must stand strong & together in the face of our common enemy: white supremacy.

During my trip to #Montana, I spoke with KTVH’s Tom Buchanan about meeting with the Montana Jewish Project @MTJewishProject, about fighting #antisemitism and the interest of #Israel to forge closer ties with this great State. Watch:

Thank you @MTJewishProject & @KTVHNews for the meeting & interview with Consul General @MarcoCSermoneta! Last year, the Montana Jewish Project purchased MT's 1st synagogue, returning it to Jewish hands for the 1st time in 87 years & creating a statewide Jewish community center.

"I felt this was just another symptom of a group that's dominated by Christian nationalists." - Rep. Ed Stafman says of his cancelled invocation. "At the same time I didn't want to make it into a big issue."

It was such an honor to represent the @MTJewishProject tonight with my fellow board member Julie Bir at Brothers Tapworks. @stevebullockmt was an exceptional moderator. Thank you Helena—new friends and old—for showing up to support us. My heart is very full.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. As we continue the fight against antisemitism and hate, we continue to remember the consequences of this struggle should we forget.

Today, we remember the victims of the #MonseyStabbing, including Mr. Josef Neumann z”l. The memories of that night 3 years ago are still too vivid. May our community never again endure such a horrific and violent antisemitic act.

In Helena recently for a Sukkot celebration and the rededication of the Temple Emanu-El after 87 years.
The temple opened in 1891 and was the first built between St. Louis and Portland and used to sit 750 people. @MTJewishProject

We don’t have the words at MJP to express our excitement and gratitude. Please join us tomorrow outside the synagogue at 10 AM to share in our joy.

Built in 1891 to serve the Jews who traveled to the state during the gold rush, a Helena, Montana synagogue that once served hundreds of Jewish people before being sold for a minuscule amount in the 1930s, is being bought back by Jewish Montanans. Via @AP. apnews.com/article/helena-po…

“I think some people are skeptical about the importance of this -- if you have a small Jewish community, why do you need a big building?” Vang said. “But I don’t think you need to be religious to know that we imbue a lot of spirit in place.” apnews.com/article/5f9f0743c…
