(Jewish Group) 'We don't live in fear': Another antisemitic crime in Florida at a synagogue
A Florida synagogue was struck by a vandal shortly after Shabbat services.
The congregation at Cape Coral’s Chabad Jewish Center had just finished morning services Saturday when a man approached the building. Rabbi Yossi Labkowski said he heard a loud noise, which turned out to be the menorah outside being knocked over.
Yaacov Ben-Haim, who was attending services, said he thought the wind might have blown the menorah over.
The rabbi then heard another noise and when he walked to the door, he saw the man grabbing a brick or stone and throwing it repeatedly at the glass. Ben-Haim said the noise was so loud, it was “like a shotgun.”
