Vladivostok Synagogue Profaned Again

Vladivostok, Russia — Today, March 2, 2007, the Vladivostok synagogue was profaned. Anti-Semitic slogans, such as “death to the Jews” and other symbols covered the door, facade and the walls of synagogue and adjoining building.

The synagogue was vandalized before, about 4 months ago. Rabbi Yisroel Silberstein has been in touch with the city administration, and is sure that they are doing everything possible to remedy the situation.

Despite this terrible event, the local Jewish community is holding a large Purim celebration this Sunday. Vladivostok residents and local authorities are invited to show their unity and cohesion in the face of threats of fascist thugs.

    I am really happy they had continued out with the purim party they were planning. It shows some real strong bitachon in those chassidim… they are showing those ruthless-goyim that they won’t give in to them…
    mi ke’amcha yisroel!!!
