The Tzohar Rabbinical Organization has responded to the act of vandalism against a synagogue in the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood in Jerusalem by saying, "A Beit Knesset deserves to be a place of sanctity between us and G-d. It is deeply distressing when we see a holy site vandalized in such a disturbing reflection of humanity's potential for hatred."
A statement by Tzohar continued, "Beyond capturing those responsible, we must ensure that this serves as an opportunity to educate about the dangers of intolerance, the importance of our synagogues and the need combat all such future types of violence."
