Jew Mountain is a summit in Montana that rises to 7,972 feet and ranks as the state’s 961st highest peak. It was most likely named for Morris Steinberg, a Jewish gold prospector who worked a mining venture in the area. A stream on the mountain’s east face once carried an anti-Jewish slur, but that name was later changed to honor Steinberg instead. The mountain’s history is tied both to Montana’s mining past and to the later rejection of a derogatory place-name in favor of recognizing the prospector associated with the area.
