Below is an article that appeared in the HOUSTON JEWISH HERALD VOICE<br /><br />Ra’anana synagogue attack condemned<br />Published• Thu, Apr 21, 2011 <br />JERUSALEM (JTA) – The World Union for Progressive Judaism condemned an attack on a Reform synagogue in the central Israeli city of Ra’anana. The attack on April 14 is the third time the Ra’anana synagogue has been vandalized in the last year. Six of the synagogue’s windows were smashed in by large rocks, and a black Star of David was spray-painted on the wall above the words “It has begun.”<br />Ra’anana Mayor Nahum Hofree condemned what he called the “bullying,” saying the attack “does not characterize Ra’anana’s people. This is a city of tolerance and exemplary coexistence.”<br />City officials and the Reform umbrella group both indicated that the vandalism pointed to Jewish religious extremists, although police said they had no suspects.<br />In a statement released April 15, the World Union said that it “condemns all violence that is motivated by hatred and religious extremism. As we approach the season of Jewish freedom, we call on all government and NGO agencies to show their abhorrence of these wanton, senseless acts; we are confident that government leaders will take the lead in this condemnation, and we call on Orthodox leaders throughout Israel also to show their disgust at this destructive intra-Jewish hatred.” — JTAgerry and greta art camp adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024443901817549257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245992896820542139.post-57620913061103858142011-04-23T05:01:52.034-07:002011-04-23T05:01:52.034-07:00Ditto, ditto ditto!!Ditto, ditto ditto!!oliviaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942699043347654142noreply@blogger.com
