Jerusalem - Extremist Vandal Compares Chabad to Nazism

The facade of a building housing a Chabad Yeshiva in Givat Shaul, an ultra-orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem, was defaced by an unknown assailant, who scrawled “Chabad = Swastika symbol” on it.

The words “Buz Chabad” (meaning: contempt or Shame for Chabad) were also spray painted on a sign advertising the Yeshiva’s name – Nishmasa D’oraisa. The Yeshiva’s phone numbers were blotted out.

It is believed that the perpetrator is an extremist member of the area’s ultra-orthodox community, who was unhappy about the opening of a Chabad Yeshiva in the neighborhood.
