Kosher Florida Cafe Attacked by Vandals

By JTA January 18, 2012

A new kosher restaurant in Florida owned and managed by Israelis has received anti-Semitic hate mail and graffiti for the last month.

The messages have been tacked to the door and windows of The Mozart Cafe in Deerfield Beach, the Florida Jewish Journal reported. They include “go home” and “go to hell,” as well as anti-Semitic graffiti, the newspaper reported. Police have investigated twice.

The cafe opened four months ago.
