Via JTA:
A Chabad Lubavitch synagogue in Basel, Switzerland was vandalized.
A window of the synagogue was smashed in with a hammer, the BZ Basel news website reported.
The damage was discovered on Saturday morning as worshippers gathered for the Shabbat morning service.
“I’ve been living in Basel for 16 years. It’s the first time that I have been worried about myself and my family,” Rabbi Zalmen Wishedski of Chabad Lubavitch told BZ Basel.
There currently are no suspects in the incident, the Basel public prosecutor’s office told the news website.
The incident comes after a kosher butcher shop in Basel was vandalized four times in one month in what local Jews have condemned as an anti-Semitic campaign of intimidation.
