Shabbatski is Jan. 21

BIG SKY–Of all the Jewish holidays,
the weekly Shabbat, or Sabbath, is
considered the most important.
It starts every Friday night, at sunset,
and ends Saturday night. Shabbat, or
the day of rest, is a festive time to be
with friends and family, rest, pray, read and rejuvenate.
Shabbat has three main rituals: lighting
the Sabbath candles, saying Kiddush
over wine, and reciting HaMotzi over challah bread.
For the last few years, the Jewish community
in Southwest Montana has put
their own special twist on Shabbat: Shabbatski.
On Jan. 21, the congregation from Beth
Shalom in Bozeman will come to Big
Sky for Shabbat services. And to ski.
This is one of two Shabbat services each
year at the Big Sky Chapel led by Beth
Shalom’s Rabbi Ed Stafman and lay cantor, Josh Burnim.
“It almost sounds Yiddish,” Stafman
joked about the clever name.
Shabbatski includes a Friday night service,
a Shabbat dinner, and Torah study
on Saturday morning from 9-10 a.m.
“We’ll be done in time to hit the
slopes,” Stafman said.
Last year, they
marked the end
of Shabbat with
a small Havdalah
service around
the fire pit park in
the Town Center,
on Saturday evening.
“The nature
of the Jewish
community in
Montana is we’re
spread out. We
wanted to reach
out to where
our people are,”Stafman said.
Approximately 120 families from
Bozeman, Big Sky, Ennis, Livingston
and Helena belong to the Beth Shalom congregation.
Plus, Stafman said, the congregation
has a lot of skiers, so this was a good
excuse for them to come out to Big Sky.
“It’s sort of a win-win for everybody.”
All are welcome at the service.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
