- Title
Chapter 6: The Quiet Years: 1967 - 1992.
- Abstract
The article explores the start of the decline of the Jews community in Walla Walla, Washington. It cites the several causes of the decline which include the emptying of the military posts in the town, the aging of the original generation, and the migration of some of the new generation to other places. It also mentions that the B'nai B'rith was dissolved while the Auxiliary Lodge had evolved but remained. However, even with the decline of Judaism services in the town, it notes that the Judaism practices, such as its feasts and rituals, had continued to be celebrated. Names of the families who had kept the Jewish tradition in the town during this time are also cited.
