Police are investigating the vandalism of an off-campus Chabad House sukkah at a California university. Anti-Israel statements including “End Israeli Occupation” and “Free Palestine” were spray-painted on the inside of the sukkah at the University of California, Davis.
Rabbi Shmary Brownstein, co-director of the Chabad House, said in an interview with the California Aggie newspaper on Sunday that a Hillel official notified him of the damage on Oct. 5, the last day of Sukkot. Brownstein said it was the first time In more than four years on campus that he’s had to deal with sukkah vandals.
Another California sukkah, outside of San Jose State University’s Hillel of Silicon Valley, was found torched last week.
