We cannot accept or normalize anti-Semitic vandalism
By now many in the Upper Valley have heard the news about the vandalization of the Hanukkah menorah on the Dartmouth Green, discovered on the evening of Dec. 16. I know that my colleague, Rabbi Moshe Gray, was in shock as he prepared to light the menorah for the seventh night of Hanukkah.
This act of vandalism has angered the entire community and it’s not what I would expect from the Upper Valley. As rabbi of the Upper Valley Jewish Community (Kol Ha’Emek) in Hanover, I write today to share my sadness, solidarity and support for the entire Jewish community and all of its neighbors.
