The temporary shuttering of the cultural attraction on Pan American Plaza came after the cottage was maliciously damaged for a second time this week
Acts of vandalism prompted a closure Thursday of the House of Israel at Balboa Park, one of a group of nation-centric cultural centers at the park designed to promote international goodwill.
The temporary shuttering of the cultural attraction on Pan American Plaza, near Spreckels Organ Pavilion, came after the cottage was maliciously damaged for a second time this week, House of Israel President Ruth Mastron announced Thursday in a social media post. "You may have heard that a window was broken last night at the House of Israel," Mastron wrote."Fortunately we were closed, and no one was inside. However, this is the second time in three days we have had to call the police.
"I continue to believe in the value of our core mission to welcome, inform and educate about our wonderful country of Israel, ancient homeland of the Jewish people," she stated. "But after a day of reflection, consultation and soul-searching, I've concluded that we cannot guarantee the safety of volunteers, neighboring houses and visitors. I could not live with myself if anyone were to be harmed because I failed to take the painful but necessary decision to close the House of Israel until further notice.
