Vandals ransacked a Jerusalem synagogue last night in an attack labeled an "antisemitic progrom," the Jerusalem Post website reports today (January 29, 2019).
The Siah Yisrael synagogue , located in the Kiryat Yovel neighborhood, was broken into and its ritual objects -- including a Torah scroll and prayer books -- were destroyed.
Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion said, "This was a serious incident that is reminiscent of dark times of the Jewish people; we will not allow crimes like this to occur in our time."
Israeli Interior Minister Arye Deri called the vandalism a "shocking" display of violence, reminiscent of the antisemitism progroms carried out in the Nazi era.
