Helena Independent Record
Bozeman, Montana — A Jewish rabbi is moving here to serve Orthodox Jewish families in Montana.

Chaim Bruk, 25, and his wife, Chavie, 22, are members of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, a branch of Hasidism founded in Russia in the 1700s. Its followers are Orthodox Jews.

The Bruks, with seed money from Jewish philanthropy group the Rohr Family Foundation in Florida, intend to set up a base in Bozeman.

“We're really a statewide organization based out of Bozeman,” Bruk said Monday in a phone interview from his native Brooklyn, N.Y. “Our primary focus will be adult education.”

The annual Melava Malka of Congregation Ahavas Moische, known to most as The Maple Street Shul, took place this past Motzei Shabbos Parshas Ki Tisa in the Reb Berel Junick Simcha Hall at the 612 Maple Street. It was well attended and had a very interesting program.

Eli Blachman the president of The Shul for over 35 years chaired the evening. He opened the evening with welcoming everyone present and told a story how everything that a person does is important and accounted for even though you don’t see results immediately. But the end always bears fruit.
