Westchester Synagogue Defaced With Swastika
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Anti-Semitic graffiti was spray-painted on a Jewish nursery school in Mount Kisco, a New York City suburb in Westchester County.
Two swastikas were discovered Sunday on the wall of the Bet Torah synagogue preschool.
The incident, which remains under investigation, is being treated as a hate crime by the Westchester County Police.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
