Toronto police are searching for a motorcycle rider wanted in connection with two suspected hate-motivated mischief offenses at synagogues overnight Sunday, according to a news release. The two rock throwing incidents occurred just after 3 a.m. and about a half hour later, according to police. Kehillat Shaarei Torah of Toronto “was one of the synagogues targeted by the suspected hate-motivated vandalism” in the city overnight, a spokesperson for the synagogue told CNN. “This is the third antisemitic vandalism that has taken place at our synagogue since April 19th of this year,” Executive Director Michael Gilmore said in an email Sunday. Gilmore said the attacks encapsulate the dangers members of the Jewish community across Canada face daily. “Fortunately, as Jewish generations before us have done, we have come together as a community stronger, more united, and with a greater sense of purpose than ever before,” he wrote.
