| HOW A TOWN FOUGHT HATE Early on a Sunday morning in December 1996, someone broke the living room window at the home of a Jewish family living in a Catholic neighborhood in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and destroyed an electric menorah that they had displayed in celebration of Hanukkah. All the families in the neighborhood then went out to buy menorahs and displayed them in their windows. Many vowed to do so each year from now on. "No one should be intimidated from showing their faith, whatever it is, and wherever they may live," said one of the Jewish family's neighbors. Dr.Claude Shema R.
