Atlanta Synagogue Members Face Harassment
Members of an Atlanta-area synagogue have been facing harassment.
Bagels have been left on the lawns of and tied to the trees of members of Congregation Beth Jacob in DeKalb County, Ga., the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Eggs have also been thrown at people walking out of the synagogue, according to the newspaper.
In addition, cars in the synagogue parking lot have been broken into and stolen.
The incidents have occurred over the last three weeks, mostly on Friday nights, the newspaper reported.
DeKalb police have not identified any suspects in the incidents, according to reports.
The Forward is free to read but not free to produce
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
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.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
