Washington, DC – Swastikas Painted in Synagogue Parking Lot

Washington, DC – Staff at a Cleveland Park synagogue found three swastikas painted on a retaining wall of its parking lot.

Rabbi Jeffrey A. Wohlberg said this is the first incident involving the anti-Semitic symbols that he has heard of at the decades-old Adas Israel temple, which is off Connecticut Avenue NW.

The swastikas were painted on a wall at the far end of the parking lot, away from the Conservative temple and facing a side street, he said. Staff members reported the incident to D.C. police. [washingtonpost]
