Chapter 3: New Community Institutions.
- Abstract
The article discusses the formation of the major Jewish institutions in Walla Walla, Washington. It notes that the increasing number of Jews in the town and the rising number of anti-Jews have been the factors in the creation of the institutions. It mentions the actions which had prejudiced the Jews, which includes the Immigration Act of 1924 and the revival of the Ku Klux Klan. The creation of the B'nai B'rith Lodge and the Ladies' Auxiliary before the synagogues is further cited. Moreover, it presents the creation of the Congregation Beth Israel Myer Youdovitch Memorial as the first synagogue in Walla Walla and the arrival of Rabbi Franklin Cohn in the town.
