(Jewish Group) Beverly Hills synagogue vandalized on Shabbat
A synagogue in Beverly Hills was vandalized in what police are investigating as a hate crime.
At approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, according to a statement from the Beverly Hills Police Department, a suspect described as a white male entered the Nessah Synagogue, a Persian Jewish congregation, and vandalized the sanctuary.
Photos of the damage posted to Twitter show a Torah scroll unrolled, crumpled and torn at the seams, as well as broken glass and a torn page from a prayerbook. The police statement said the vandal “moved throughout the sanctuary, heavily ransacking the interior.” The statement said the vandal overturned furniture and caused very limited structural damage.
No one was in the synagogue at the time. The police statement said the suspect left no “markings or other overt signs of anti-Semitism.”
