Britain – Torching of Two Synagogues in London

In the second instance, the Center of the Esh Hatorah Educational Organization in Britain located in the Hendon section of London was set on fire. The organization’s offices, located on the first floor were completely destroyed by the fire, and damage was also caused to a building housing a synagogue. Two Torah scrolls were torn up and many sacred books went up in flames. In addition, writings, representing years of work by rabbis, were destroyed.

Since late 2000 over 100 synagogues have been desecrated in Britain.
