The Jewish community in Helena, Montana, has reached its goal to buy a synagogue built there more than 130 years ago to use as a community and cultural center for Jewish residents and visitors. The Montana Jewish Project, the nonprofit group that spearheaded the purchase, closed the deal with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena, said Rebecca Stanfel, president of the Montana Jewish Project’s board of directors. “Now, Helena’s Jewish community will have a permanent place to meet for religious observances and cultural events,” she said.
