Grateful to @noahmichelson & @HuffPost for reposting my piece about living with chronic pain. To those who reached out, I’m honored my words resonated with you. I’m dealing with a sarcoidosis flare (not with pain). For those living with pain, I send you strength and hope.

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.

I hope you can make it out for a wide-ranging conversation with Governor Steve Bullock and MJP. (And there’s excellent beer on tap!)
We're really excited to share about our work at Brothers Tapworks this coming Monday, Jun 12th at 6pm. Come join us for a great brew and meaningful conversation! #jewishcommunity #jewishmontana #fightingantisemitism

Proud of this piece that came out today in Intima—the Journal of Narrative Medicine. For years, I’ve been mulling over the idea of how we use the language of war to describe illness. I’m tired of always “fighting.” theintima.org/giving-up-the-…

Wouldn’t it be easier just to give MJP a call or respond to an email? Apparently not. Here’s MJP’s latest response to @RegierMatt disheartening op-ed.
Replying to @SenMattRegier
@RepMattRegier responded to our letters in the form of an editorial in @helenaironline yesterday. Here's our reply.

Still no word from House Speaker Regier to our letter about why he denied Representative and Rabbi Ed Stafman the honor of leading the invocation at the state legislature.

This is important!
This is MJP’s open letter to Speaker Regier. If you have your own questions or concerns about this issue, we urge you to contact Speaker Regier (matt.regier@legmt.gov). Thanks!

It was such a wonderful evening. Thanks to all who attended and who made this happen!
Many thanks to all the legislators who came by historic Temple Emanu-El on Thursday. Good food, wine, Klezmer music from Bert Chesin and Laura Hibbs, and most importantly good conversations. Thanks to @ADLPNW for helping make this possible, to Rabbi Ed Stafman, and our volunteers

I hope some of our state legislators brave the snow for a warm and fun evening!

What a night!
We had our first Helena Jewish community Passover Seder inside historic Temple Emanu-El—the oldest synagogue in MT—for the first time since 1934. Many thanks to Rabbi Sonja from Beth Shalom in Bozeman and for all who helped make MJP’s dream to buy back this building a reality.
