Tacony,
PA – A nearly century-old synagogue in the city’s Tacony section had its
stained glass windows shattered by rocks this weekend for the second time in as
many months, a congregation leader said Sunday.
A
rock was thrown through a window at Temple Menorah Keneseth Chai on the evening
of Dec. 2, said Malcolm Adler, president of the synagogue. Adler said he was
almost hit by shards of glass, which scattered in the second-floor sanctuary
just before services were to begin. It took a week to replace that window at a cost
of $350, he said.
Then,
shortly before 7:30 p.m. Friday, the same window was broken again, in the same
way, along with two other windows. A rock found inside the building was the
size of a baseball, Adler said.
No
one was injured in either incident, he said, and no witnesses have come
forward.
