LIPETSK, Russia � The building of the Jewish Community Center, which was intended to host the first Synagogue in the entire Lipetsk Region, was vandalized yesterday.
According to Rabbi Shaul Adam, a Chabad Lubavitch emissary, who has served as the city�s Chief Rabbi since last autumn, vandals drew a Fascist swastika on the property with permanent paint. Located near to the building�s main entrance on the brick fence surrounding the building, this horrific symbol is visible to all passers-by and a particular eyesore for local Jews and others who suffered at the hands of the Nazis during World War Two.
�We believe this to be a problem for not only the Jewish Community, but for all residents of Lipetsk,� expressed Rabbi Adam. �We are hopeful that the hooligans who outraged the Jewish Community Center will be detained and brought to justice.�
