SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - A rabbi says his Los Angeles-area synagogue was smeared with feces and food on the first day of Hanukkah.
Rabbi Boruch Rabinowitz tells The Los Angeles Times (https://lat.ms/2itdDtt ) that he found the vandalism when arrived Sunday morning at the Living Torah Center/Chabad in Santa Monica.
Though there were no anti-Semitic messages left, Rabinowitz says he believes the synagogue was targeted for religious reasons.
The feces and food was smeared in a window near an electric Menorah and a sign wishing people a happy Hanukkah.
The synagogue reported the incident to police and plans to install surveillance cameras.
