A synagogue Hollywood was vandalized Thursday night. It is reportedly the second incident in a just a few weeks. LAPD is investigating as a hate crime.
A Hollywood synagogue was vandalized Thursday night, the second time this summer. Los Angeles police are investigating the incidents as potential hate crimes. An LAPD spokesman said officers took a hate crime report at the scene on Friday. Video captured by the synagogue's security camera shows two hooded men crossing Melrose Avenue and approaching the entrance to Kahal Ahavas Yisroel on Thursday night.
'It's hard for me to imagine that these two consecutive incidents, so close together with our building, it's hard to say that it's not,' Dror told KCAL. An LAPD spokesman did not provide specifics about the earlier incident, nor did he shed light on the current investigation, other than to confirm a hate crime report was taken the following day. Antisemitic hate crimes have surged since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
