A mobile Jewish education and social services center was vandalized in New York City during the early morning hours on Sunday.
According to CrownHeights.info, a local outlet, someone graffitied “Palestine” on a “Mitzvah Tank” operated by the Chabad Jewish movement.
A Mitzvah Tank is a vehicle used by Chabad to educate the public about Judaism and provide social services such as feeding the poor.
“Yesterday, late evening, we were alerted that our state of the art mitzvah tank was graffitied in a hateful attack while parked in the heart of Soho on Broadway,” Chabad Rabbi Yehuda Pevzner told CrownHeights.info on Monday. “The NYPD is taking this very seriously and we thank them for the strong response. We will keep you updated as the investigation continues.”
Jewish leaders said this week that the incident demonstrated a clear relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism.
