Hate Crimes In Williamsburg Over Rosh Hashana
Another day. More hate.
The latest two hate crimes occurred on Monday, the first day of Rosh Hashanah in Williamsburg.
In the first crime, as can be seen in the attached video footage, a group of thugs are seen smashing a window of the Rivnitz Shul on Throop Avenue and Barlett Street.
The suspects run up the street, while one of them appears to be on the lookout for anyone coming, while another two suspects are seen throwing objects at the windows of the Shul.
