The police chief of Whitefish, Montana has nailed a mezuzah to the doorway of his police station in solidarity with the Jews of the town, where a planned neo-Nazi march was set to take place, The Forward reported Thursday.

During a visit to Whitefish by Orthodox rabbis from the U.S. and Canada, Rabbi Adam Scheier from Montreal asked Police Chief William Dial whether he would be interested in placing a mezuzah — a small case that holds four sections of the Bible — on his office door.

According to a social media post by Scheier, Dial said, “No, I won’t put it on my office door. I want to put in a more central location, where everyone will see it.”

Dial then proceeded to attach the mezuzah, which is made of Jerusalem stone, to a door that “every police officer passes upon entering the station,” Scheier wrote.

A few weeks ago, a neo-Nazi blogger named Andrew Anglin said that he would lead an armed march through Whitefish before Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Jewish residents and businesses in the town have since been inundated with online threats.

While the march didn’t take place because Anglin was unable to obtain a permit, he has vowed that it will be rescheduled.
