NEW YORK (JNS) – A brick was thrown at the door of a kosher pizzeria on Manhattan’s Upper East Side early Monday, causing damage to the business’s entrance.

A photo of the damage at Saba’s Pizza was shared on Twitter by a patron of the restaurant, Jewish journalist Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt. Additional photos online show shattered glass in more than one location in front of the store.
New York City Council Member Ben Kallos, who represents the Upper East Side and is the incoming chair of the Jewish Caucus, said he frequently visits the establishment with his daughter, and that Saba’s is the only kosher pizzeria in the Upper East Side. He condemned the anti-Semitic attack in an interview with Fox 5.
“The only kosher pizza place in the neighborhood, across the street where I go to synagogue, has been vandalized. This is happening everywhere,” he said. “People are in fear all over our city, and we really need to make sure that we’re doing what we can to support each and every community.”
The Anti-Defamation League said it is working with law-enforcement officials to investigate the incident.
The New York Police Department recently announced that it will increase its presence in Jewish communities across the city.
While it’s true that at some pizza shops the pizza can taste like a brick, I can attest first-hand that Saba’s pizza is EXCELLENT!

It would really be a tragedy if a Shomrim unit or three were to suddenly forget their training and “go rogue.” Just sayin….
The recent Zionist provocations lead to this, of course.
