Senate Finance Chairman Exchanges Blessings at Montana Jewish Celebration
Soon after moving to Montana as the stateís first full-time Chabad-Lubavitch emissary last year, Rabbi Chaim Bruk met U.S. Sen. Max Baucus in Washington, D.C.
On Sunday, Montanaís senior senator reciprocated the meeting, this time by toasting the one-year anniversary of Chabad-Lubavitch of Montana during a grand brunch in Bozeman.
ìI am inspired by your efforts to show Montanans the Jewish religion and what it means to be a Jew in our state,î said Baucus, a five-term senator and chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee. ìI think you will find, and you are finding, Montanans are very receptive.î
The celebration in honor of the rabbi and his wife, Chavie Bruk, showcased the strides taken by the Jewish community of Montana in a short period of time.
