Chavie and Chaim Bruk are the archetypes of Chabad shluchim. They live in Montana, welcoming Jews of all backgrounds into their Bozeman home, featuring home-cooked meals, inspiring singing, and deep spiritual discussions. Doctors, ranchers, and professionals from Bozeman, Missoula, Kalispell, and Billings are connecting to their heritage because of the Bruks’ efforts and many miles on the remote highways of the nation’s fourth-largest state. As they have grown their family of five children, they have become forceful advocates for adoption in the Orthodox world.

0:00.0 | For us, the idea of adoption was unheard of, I mean, like you said, the from community definitely wasn't common. |
0:06.0 | The Rebbe had written many letters about adoption, both forewarning the halachic ramifications associated with various aspects of raising children that aren't your biological, they aren't your blood children, |
0:17.0 | but also encouraging people both to adopt either children that were born Jewish or children that went through a garrist, went through a proper halachic conversion to become Jewish. |
0:25.0 | So the Rebbe was very encouraging about it, but in the general from world, most Rashi-Shivas in the Lithuania world, most Haseed-Sharebs are very, very hesitant about letting their community members, their followers, their Haseed, and their Talmedin adopt non-Jewish children, which puts you in a very, very tough spot because the amount of Jewish children available for adoption is minuscule. |
0:46.0 | And so it puts couples that are looking to adopt in a very tough spot, and what we opened up is we helped a lot of these Rebes, Rashi-Shivas, Rabbun and understand the world of a many personal conversations, Rabbun and will call from Barapark, and ask me what guided us to do what we did, and sort of broaden the horizons so that they can understand that before they give their student to their Haseed-Sharebsak about what they should do, they should know they don't encourage them to adopt, to open their specifics about what they're willing to adopt, even a non-Jewish baby. |
1:15.0 | It's going to be a very tough journey, and what we tried to do is help a lot of these spiritual leaders, rabbis, community leaders, understand what the process is like, and how it could be done without God forbid breaking anything to do with Halacha, and actually sticking to Halacha 100%. |
1:45.0 | For you, they are the leading executive recruiting firm serving the Jewish community for almost two decades. If you're an executive looking to grow or feel that you have reached a ceiling at work, reach out to Poil Group. |

2:32.0 | And by the way, remember, a few weeks ago, I mentioned Rochester. Well, some of you have actually gone to visit Rochester, and you've loved it. That is Torah Rochester. |
2:44.0 | Okay, Rochester is an amazing Kahila to move to. It offers the opportunity to join a growing out of town community. It's based around Torah values. They have very, very affordable housing and a beautiful suburban neighborhood. |
2:55.0 | Are you done being just a face in the back of the school in your community? You want to be someone who is leading, leading the people, be a leader, be a Gavra. |
3:05.0 | Maybe think about moving to Rochester. They have an amazing amount of elementary school called Darah Hatura, where they offer a high level of learning, amazing programs, strong special education, general study, today's studies, and rich for opportunities for those who excel. |
