Vandals have repeatedly attacked the Educational Jewish Center on Astor Ave smashing several stained-glass windows, but politicians and police are coming together to try to thwart future attacks. At least three times last month, windows at the Educational Jewish Center on Astor Ave. were smashed with rocks and brick debris, said Alec Feldman, the temple’s president.
The NYPD’s 49th Precinct is beefing up patrols in an effort to combat the vandalism, and the precinct has sent special units to the temple to investigate.
