TUCSON, AZ — Tucson's Chabad on River synagogue was the victim of antisemitic vandalism over the weekend. The vandalism, which was discovered by members of the synagogue's staff on Monday morning, is the latest incidence of antisemitism in Tucson, coming weeks after Tucson's Congregation Chaverim was targeted. RELATED: Tucson's Congregation Chaverim Vandalized Arizona Rep. Alma Hernandez said on Twitter that the synagogue vandalism is the latest episode in a long line of antisemitic acts in the region. Sad to wake up to the news that @Chabad on River was vandalized. When it happens to one, it happens to all of us. The amount of Jewish hate isn't shocking. The silence is. This is NOT my #Tucson please keep #AZ #Jewish community in your prayers https://t.co/JqU8hsWuGc pic.twitter.com/UilVnugchc— (((Rep.Alma Hernandez MPH))) (@almaforarizona) June 8, 2021 Patch has reached out to Chabad on River, Hernandez and Tucson Police Department for comment and will update this story once they respond.
