Two lamps were vandalized this week outside Temple Israel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
The incident, which happened on Monday night, was captured on camera and police have released images of the person they say was responsible for the crimeSomeone smashed two of the sconces that have been a part of the synagogue for more than a hundred years.The incident, which happened on Monday night, was captured on camera and police have released images of the person they say was responsible for the crime.“There’s no excuse for this type of behavior,” said Portsmouth resident Cathy Lynch.
Rabbi Ron Fish, the interim regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, says, says antisemitic acts are up more than 300% since October 7. “The Jewish community continues to be the largest target of religious bigotry in the US,” said Rabbi Fish. “In the midst of New Hampshire’s beauty and diversity there are also pockets of hate,” said Fish. “We’ve seen a rise in New Hampshire in similar kinds of acts.”
In a statement, the synagogue said the crime was a “...deliberate desecration of our sacred space and a bigoted attack on our faith community.”
