Over the weekend, two Philadelphia synagogues, including one on the Main Line, were targeted with antisemitic vandalism, notably the painting of swastikas, in incidents related to Israel-Hamas tensions. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who is Jewish, condemned these acts, stating they have "no place" in the state. The vandalism occurred at a synagogue in Wynnewood, Montgomery County, marking the second such incident within a week at this location. Community leaders, both Jewish and non-Jewish, have rallied in support of the affected communities. Investigations are ongoing to find the perpetrators.

I’m appalled that the historic St. Daniel's Community Church of Iron Hill was vandalized with racist, offensive, & threatening language. Houses of worship should be safe havens. I wholeheartedly condemn this act of hate & believe those responsible should be held accountable. https://t.co/M3FD21yjD3
