Maywood, NJ — Borough police are searching for whoever spray-painted swastikas and wrote hate messages at a Maywood Synagogue Saturday night.
By Monday afternoon, municipal crews had cleaned up most of the graffiti, but some remained on the sidewalk.
Rabbi Jarah Need arrived Sunday morning to Temple Beth Israel to find a large swastika painted on the sidewalk in front of the handicapped accessible ramp and a message stating that Jews caused 9/11, according to local officials.
The temple, located on West Magnolia Avenue, also had a swastika painted onto one of its columns, as well as a cryptic reference to “4-18” on the sidewalk in front of the building.
