Frozen in time: the slanting buildings, the wagon wheels, and the children’s birth-death dates on headstones instill a chill for the visitor to Elkhorn, Montana. Colleen Clancy Hansen’s story "Ghost Children" transports you to Montana’s Elkhorn of the past, when it was a thriving mining town. Through the eyes of Pansy, a young girl, who escaped the fate of so many other Elkhorn children, we experience the diphtheria epidemic that devastated the once prosperous town in the harsh year of 1889. Illustrated with photographs.

The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism functioning as the primary source for Jewish religious law (Halakha).

A Menorah is a candelabra that serves as a significant Jewish symbol, though it can refer to two different types: the original seven-branched Temple menorah described in the Bible as a sacred object and the nine-branched Hanukkah menorah used for the festival of Hanukkah. There are eight candles for the festival nights and one for the “shamash” (helper candle).
