(Jewish Group) Seattle synagogue vandalized day before Holocaust Remembrance Day

A synagogue in Seattle was vandalized with anti-Israel messaging on Sunday, the eve of Holocaust Remembrance day, the Seattle Police said in a release Wednesday.

“This was a coordinated and focused attack,” said Senior Rabbi Daniel Weiner, of Temple De Hirsch Sinai on Capitol Hill, who believes the timing of the attack was no coincidence.

Footage from the Temple De Hirsch Sinai shows two individuals equipped with backpacks and paint vandalizing the façade of the temple’s old sanctuary – which is now gone, leaving an open plaza in its place, Weiner told CNN. Temple leaders are currently working with the FBI and Seattle Police Department to find the suspects.

Seattle Police released the video of the two suspects in a statement and is requesting the public’s help to identify them.
