Bet Harim (House of the Mountains) is a Reform Jewish Congregation located in the Flathead Valley of Montana, from Polson to Kalispell and on to Whitefish. Our vision is to create a Jewish spiritual, social and educational atmosphere that is relevant to the practice of Judaism in Montana. We blend traditional Jewish practice with the personal experience of participation in services, a love of the outdoors, a strong commitment to community and an inclusive and welcoming manner that satisfies the needs of both Jewish and interfaith familes.
Bet Harim is a member community of MAJCO, the Montana Association of Jewish Communities, MHRN, the Montana Human Rights Network and is affiliated with URJ, the Union for Reform Judaism. See http://www.urj.org for more information.
