Two Montreal Chabad Houses Burglarized

A Chabad House in Montreal’s Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood was broken into early Friday morning and had its handmade charity box stolen. According to police, the same thing happened at a Chabad in Côte-St-Luc two weeks ago.

From the CBC:

Rabbi Yisroel Bernath first noticed the break-in when he arrived at the Chabad for the Sabbath.

He says he saw the handmade wood-carved donation box had been “yanked off the wall.”

“It was made by a local carpenter, someone from the synagogue,” said Bernath. “It took him a lot of time.”

Bernath said the box was not regularly emptied and could have contained anywhere from $500 to $1,000.
