Presentation by Rebecca Stanfel of the Montana Jewish Project
In August of 2022, the Montana Jewish Project reacquired the historic Temple Emanu-El and returned Montana’s first synagogue to Jewish community ownership for the first time in 87 years. As important as the temple is to the community, the Montana Jewish Project is more than a building. The organization is anchored in the rich history of Jewish life in Montana and is preserving the 1891 synagogue as a permanent home for generations to come. Through community gatherings in Helena, online, and across Montana, MJP is finding ways to bring people together to learn, engage with Jewish traditions, and create a Montana-wide Jewish community that is resilient and strong. We are excited to hear from MJP’s executive director, Rebecca Stanfel, at this very special luncheon!
Presentation by Kelsi Adams, LICSW, on neurodivergence
Social worker and Jewish community member Kelsi Adams, LICSW, has a special passion for supporting people who are raising neurodivergent kids, as well as those who are exploring a late diagnosis (or self-suspected) of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Autism (ASD). She has completed advanced trainings in supporting, treating, and diagnosing neurodivergent clients, and, as a neurodiverse person herself, she approaches this work with lived experience, clinical knowledge, and much respect. At our luncheon, Kelsi will help us better understand neurodivergence in its many forms.
