What is the Glacier Jewish Community?

The Glacier Jewish Community was founded to serve the diverse needs and interests of Jewish residents, our loved ones, and Jewish visitors to the Flathead Valley and Glacier National Park. Our community, with dedicated leadership, has grown organically, providing desired programming for families and individuals—seekers and skeptics alike. As the Flathead Valley’s only pluralistic, egalitarian Jewish community, we are an eclectic bunch. Some of us grew up here, and many of us have followed our passion for the rugged beauty and open spaces of northwest Montana to live here.

Our worship, learning, and activities reflect the natural abundance that surrounds us and Judaism's deep environmental foundation and sacred cycles. We eat, pray, hike, paddle, ski, sing, read and learn. Our gatherings are open to all who seek Jewish connection, and are designed to generate warmth, enthusiasm, and a sense of belonging.

We are not affiliated with any particular denomination, however we partner regularly with synagogues across Montana, the Montana Jewish Project and the Montana Association of Rabbis.
