Rabbi Anchelle Perl wasn't at Congregation Beth Shalom Chabad in Mineola on Friday morning as he usually is, as the temple was closed for the Fourth of July weekend.
Instead, he got a call unlike any he's ever received: Someone had sprayed two large, bright orange swastikas on the synagogue's front doors.
"As soon as I came and saw it was a swastika, I realized this was a bias crime," said Perl, leader of the congregation for the past 20 years.
Perl called the police, who he said responded swiftly. And he got a visit from Nassau Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey.
He said he also received supportive calls from state Sen. Craig Johnson and Mineola Mayor Jack Martins.
"This is not just an attack on the Jewish community, this is an attack on people of all faiths," said Johnson's chief of staff, Rafe Lieber. "It is outrageous that such hate-filled acts continue in this day and age. Senator Johnson's thoughts and prayers are with Rabbi Perl and the entire Mineola Chabad congregation."
