      Rishon Lezion Synagogue Desecrated


      A synagogue in Rishon Lezion was found desecrated Sunday morning. Overnight Saturday, vandals sprayed swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti in the synagogue. Among the graffiti was a scrawl that said “Jews, go back to Poland.” The Chabad synagogue has a high percentage of Holocaust survivors as members, worshippers in the synagogue told reporters. Members of the synagogue told reporters that the incident may be related to the tension between Sephardim and Ashkenazim in the Emanuel school affair.
