Two synagogues in Chicago were vandalized over the weekend and someone is in custody, officials said, as American Jewish communities remain on edge over anti-Semitic incidents, including last month's hostage-taking at a Texas synagogue
A person of interest in the Chicago cases has been in custody since Sunday but had not been charged as of late Monday afternoon, a Chicago Police spokesperson told CNN.The Secure Community Network has been building a shield over US Jewish communities. It saved lives in the Texas synagogue attack"We were packing food at our food bank for Russian seniors and Holocaust survivors, and as we walk outside, we see a swastika on the building," Rabbi Levi Notik of the F.R.E.E.
"Right here in Washington, DC, where I'm based, there are Nazi swastikas on Union Station, there have been Jewish children spat on in New York and just a couple weeks ago the horrific hostage situation in Colleyville, Texas. This is part of a larger picture the last few years here in America."This weekend was not the first time F.R.E.E. synagogue has been attacked, Notik said.
