“The Christmas Menorahs”
Sunday, December 8
4:00pm
The original version of The Christmas Menorahs appeared thirty years ago, inspired by a series of efforts to combat hatred in Billings, Montana. When a spate of attacks on Jews, Black people, and others threatened their community, residents of Billings were determined to express their solidarity and take action. In this new edition of the book, which is sadly still relevant, Janice Cohn and Bill Farnsworth relate how one Jewish family refuses to be intimidated by bigotry — and, in the process, the family learns that their empathetic and courageous neighbors will defend the values of their town.
