Jewish San Antonio Neighborhood Hit by Swastikas
Racist and anti-Semitic symbols including swastikas were painted on more than 30 cars, homes, buildings and signs in a predominately Jewish neighborhood in San Antonio, prompting a police investigation, authorities said on Wednesday.
The graffiti was noticed by worshippers as they left morning prayers at an orthodox synagogue on Wednesday, police said.
“I want to tell those who did this that you have done something destructive,” said Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg, senior rabbi at Congregation Rodfei Sholom. “Your life could be much better if you could have more love than hate.”

San Antonio police told reporters they had no immediate leads on who carried out the vandalism.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
