An Israeli flag with a swastika and white supremacist symbols was found on the grounds of a Cape Cod synagogue shortly after the end of Yom Kippur, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (October 16, 2019).
Police are investigating the incident at Falmouth Jewish Congregation after being notified by the synagogue's rabbi, Elias Lieberman, who found the flag on the morning of October 10.
Lieberman said the defaced flag was spray-painted with a red swastika over the flag's Star of David and with the numbers 14 and 88, symbols that refer to Hitler and white supremacy.
The rabbi also notified the New England Anti-Defamation League. He said it's the first such incident in his nearly 30 years leading the Reform congregation.
