Montana's Jewish Roots
On August 25, 2022, the Montana Jewish Project closed on the Temple Emanu-El building returning the building to Jewish hands for the first time in 87 years.​
Reclaiming the beautiful Temple Emanu-El felt, at times, like pushing a boulder up a mountain trail. Without the incredible community support we received, the Montana Jewish Project would not have been able to acquire the building.
​
Every dollar donated, every collection raised from a synagogue or church, every fundraiser held in the Montana Jewish Project's honor brought this, every volunteer hour, and every email sharing hope and ideas helped bring this joyful day.
​
With our goal of reclaiming Temple Emanu-El complete, we now focus on nurturing and educating both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities of Montana.
​
Through events, book club, and special opportunities, we are working toward establishing a Jewish Community Center and supporting Jewish life in Montana.
Join our
book club!
Each month we explore a novel written by a by a Jewish author, about a Jewish individual, or with a Jewish theme focusing on topics like community, life, or history. The Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm in the MJP Library.
Book selections can be found on our social channels. Space is limited; please RSVP to info@montanajewishproject.com.
