Wave of vandalism hits non-Orthodox synagogues anew

[Poll_Blind]

From Haretz:

Conservative and Reform communities say the perpetrators are ultra-Orthodox youth who are opposed to other streams of Judaism.

A Netanya Conservative and Reform house of worship has become the target of stone-throwing attacks, allegedly by ultra-Orthodox youths waging a battle to scare the congregants into leaving.

The Beit Yisrael synagogue in Netanya has been pelted with rocks on three different Friday nights in the last month. The youths reportedly hurled epithets at the synagogue parishioners, called them Gentiles and demanded that they leave the area. The rocks caused no damage, and no one has been hurt in the attacks.

"It's a 21st-century pogrom," Ben Tsur said.

The Netanya incidents are not isolated. A Reform synagogue in Ra'anana has also been attacked by vandals.

On April 13, windows were smashed and shards of glass were left strewn inside the synagogue sanctuary and the children's playground. Graffiti reading "It has begun" was sprayed on the outer wall of the building. It was the third time in less than a year that the synagogue had been attacked by vandals.
