The Last Best Place: Shlichum Meet With Bohlinger

The Last Best Place: Shlichum Meet With Bohlinger

Late last week, Tmimim Chaim Shaul Bruk and Arik Denebeim who are on Merkos Shlichus in Montana, met with Lieutenant Governor John Bohlinger. The meeting took place in the state capitol building in Helena.

The Lt. Governor is a good friend and supporter of Jews here in Montana and in Israel. He welcomed them and the Bochurim thanked him on behalf of the Jewish community for all his support and shared with him insight on many ethical and moral issues. Of note, I believe Lt. Gov Bohlinger also addressed the Shabbaton sponsored by the Montana Association of Jewish Communities last month.

At the conclusion of the meeting the Bochuirm presented the Mr. Bohlinger with a copy of "Bringing heaven down to earth."

Back on August 12, the Gazette surprisingly ran a story on the shlichum's visit to Montana which can be found here.

Rabbi Chaim and Mr. Denebeim are here in Great Falls now. I had the pleasure of meeting with them and laying tefillin yesterday.

The Lt. Governor did address the Shabbaton. He was very gracious and was very well received.

B"Shalom,

Aaron
