Ukrainian Synagogue Attacked

Kirovograd, Ukrain - Several windows were shattered when vandals threw stones into the Choral Synagogue downtown Kirovograd, in what is believed to be an anti-Semitic attack, but no one was hurt.
Local police are investigating the case but no arrests have been reported.

According to local Jewish leaders, the incident was only the most recent act of vandalism against Jewish institutions in the central Ukrainian city during the past few years.
Vitaly Kakhnov, director of the Kirovograd charitable center Hesed Shlomo, said that community members believe this attack was motivated by an anti-Semitic act since it took place on Passover.
