I wrote about the swastika that someone tagged the synagogue, so I feel like I need to let you know the follow up. A piece about the incident appeared in the local Long Beach paper. Then Rabbi Moskowitz spent days responding to overwhelming support from the broader community. Several Christian churches volunteered to come to our aid as well as two Islamic groups. The people from these groups asked if we would like them to surround our synagogue as a show of support and protection.
So from the act of one hater, we were blessed with the love and support of hundreds. It's nice to realize that people aren't going to leave us out there to hang. Thanks to all who sent their love and support.
