NB synagogue vandalized on International Holocaust Remembrance Day: "Very sad day"

Members of Fredericton’s Jewish community were shocked to see the state of the city’s synagogue when arriving on Saturday, which was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Several windows were shattered due to an act of vandalism. Images circulating online showed broken glass both inside and surrounding the door located at the Sgoolai Israel synagogue’s entrance. Ivan Levine, former president of the synagogue, said a rabbi and the congregation who were leading a service on Saturday were the first to come across the vandalism. “It’s a very sad day in Fredericton,” he said. “To think that our fathers and forefathers have contributed to this city, have been so charitable … and this is what a few bad apples have done.” Global's Anna Mandin has the details.
