It happened in the parking lot of the North Shore Sephardic Synagogue on Cuttermill Road around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
The 28 folding chairs were found in the shape of a large 12′ x 12′ swastika.
The rabbi called police when he discovered the symbol.

That’s a new way to do it. They didn’t have anything to draw with?!?
The only thing they should be arrested for us impersonating a human. They are stupid. You cant arrest people for stupidity.

A dumb and insensitive prank. I assume they were working at the shul and if so they should be sentenced to do so at no pay for 100 hours (community service).

The difference between ignorance and stupidity is that ignorance can be cured.
