Anti-Semitic vandalism found at law student's dorm at UC Hastings

Police are investigating anti-Semitic vandalism discovered this week in a residence hall at UC Hastings College of the Law.

The vandalism was reported Monday when a student found his mezuzah, which was mounted on the door frame outside his dorm, partially burned. A mezuzah contains a scroll with chapters of the Torah and is placed on a doorpost to signify a Jewish home.

The third-year law student spoke to KTVU-TV on the condition he not be named. He told the station that he noticed melting on the mezuzah and that it had been scorched.

UC San Francisco’s Office of Public Safety is investigating the vandalism and will determine whether it is a possible hate crime, said Alex Shapiro, a spokesman for the law school.
