Welcome to Har Shalom ....
A Synagogue for Missoula: Building Jewish Community
Har Shalom is an egalitarian, Reform Jewish congregation based in Missoula Montana serving a vibrant Western Montana community. Jews have lived in Missoula for over a century and have gathered and organized for holidays, and Sunday school, and services for more than fifty years. In the early 1980s the New Jewish Community formed and about a decade later renamed itself Har Shalom. Since the late 1980s Har Shalom has been served by part-time rabbis, student rabbis and a lay leader. Our synagogue is located at 3035 S. Russell Street. You are Welcome!Special Note: Haiti Relief Har Shalom joins the Reform Movement in responding to the severe earthquake which devastated Haiti on January 12. This is the most severe earthquake to hit that impoverished country in 200 years. The death toll is expected to reach thousands, and it will likely be many days before the impact is fully known. Already, reports say that the presidential palace, a major hotel, and the UN Headquarters collapsed, leaving hundreds buried in the rubble. According to the International Red Cross, as many as three million people have been affected by the quake. Our Reform Jewish community has a long history of generosity when natural disasters devastate communities around the world. Our contributions at this critical time will enable our national organization, the URJ, to play an immediate role in recovery efforts and bring healing and hope to those whose lives have been affected. You can send a donation to the URJ relief fund online at http://urj.org/socialaction/issues/relief/haiti/. Alternately, you may send a check (please note “Haiti relief” in the memo line) to “Disaster Relief Fund, Union for Reform Judaism, 633 Third Ave., New York, NY 10017”. Please note that all of the money collected, less credit card fees, goes to the relief effort.
