Hatemongers have targeted Brooklyn’s Orthodox community with a
vicious assault, a string of synagogue thefts and anti-Semitic vandalism
targeting synagogues and Jewish neighborhoods. In the most
disturbing incident, a mob of six black teenagers shouting, “Dirty Jew!”
and “Dirty kike!” repeatedly bashed Marc Heinberg, 61, as he walked
home from temple in Sheepshead Bay on June 15 at 9:15 p.m.
A
thief or thieves also swiped seven silver ataras — decorative neckbands
worth up to $600 each that are part of Orthodox prayer shawls — from
five synagogues in Midwood last week.
And on June 19, vandals armed with a BB gun shot out windows of a
dozen cars on Lee Avenue in Williamsburg, while a punk wrote “F--k Jews”
in 3-by-3-foot letters at the Kererster synagogue on Berry Street.
