A few days ago, a man was arrested after spray-painting one of Montreal’s largest synagogue with swastikas. The suspect had also brought a gasoline canister with him, presumably not to light up his cigarette.
The incident generated some high profile responses:
This is my shul. My children’s school. The place that was for years our home away from home, where we prayed and played.
It is the shul in which Leonard Cohen stood by his grandfather. The place that inspired his legacy and lyrics, from ‘Hallelujah’ to ‘Hineni’. https://t.co/J5jbl02XmV
This is despicable. I condemn this vile act in the strongest terms possible and stand united with Congregation @ShaarHashomayim, Rabbi @AdamScheier, and Jewish Canadians across the country. We must always denounce antisemitic hate, no matter when or where it arises. https://t.co/lD8LaPNaz9
