(JEWISH GROUP) Rabbi shares message to community after antisemitic graffiti found at Metro Detroit synagogue

A suspect is now in custody in connection with antisemitic graffiti found at a synagogue in Oak Park, Michigan, on Wednesday.

It's one of multiple incidents of antisemitic vandalism that have taken place across Metro Detroit in less than a week.

"In the Jewish community, I think we have an awareness that it's not if something is going to happen, it's when something is going to happen. This isn't the first incident we've had here," said Congregation Beth Shalom Rabbi Robert Gamer.

Gamer says the vandalism was found on a pillar near the front door of the synagogue and included a swastika and other hate speech. Police were called immediately, and the graffiti was removed.
