Rabbi Chaim Shaul Bruk, is a young and charismatic Hasidic rabbi from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, who moved to Bozeman, Montana, to bring his Orthodox Judaism to the American West. To celebrate his love for his adopted state, Chaim is on a mission to place a Mezuzah, an encased prayer offering, on the doorpost of every Montana Jew. That’s 1300 Jews in a state 14 times larger than Israel.

With his Hasidic family--a wife and four adopted children--Chaim finds himself accepted, a local celebrity, in the cowboy land of “live and let live.” But he meets resistance from other Montana rabbis, Reform and Conservative. Chaim runs The Chabad Lubavitch Center for Jewish Life and Learning. A center that creates an atmosphere that welcomes diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and fosters an open and personal Jewish experience.

On today's show Chaim and I talk about the move he and his wife decision to move to Montana in the first place, the experience of adopting 5 children and the amazing work they are doing out in Big Sky Country.
