- Title
THE BILLINGS STORY: WHAT WENT RIGHT?
- Authors
Cohon, Baruch
- Abstract
The article offers information on the initiatives of a Jewish community in Billings, Montana, to deal with hate crimes and violence. Faced by threats coming from anti-Semites and members of the Ku Klux Klan, the Jewish community in Billings organized a program with other churches which encouraged hanging of paper Hannukiot to express solidarity with the Jewish community. The support given to the program was described by the author as outpouring. National media such as "ABC Evening News," "60 Minutes," the "New York Time," the "Readers Digest," and "Reform Judaism" featured the Billings story which the author considers as an example of a community with people who care about their neighbors.
