Annotation:
A true story about an event that took place in Billings, Montana. When a rock is thrown through young Isaac's window because it displays a Menorah, he becomes afraid to put the Menorah back after the window is repaired. His mother contacts not only the police, but also the local media to take a stand against hate crimes and racism. Soon the rest of the neighborhood, Jewish and otherwise, are all displaying Menorahs in their windows to symbolize the fact that they will not tolerate bigotry. Oil paintings illustrate the text.
