OAKLAND (KRON) — A Jewish temple in Oakland was vandalized in the wee hours of the morning on Thursday with anti-Semitic graffiti written on the side of the building.

Dorian Farrow, the executive director of Temple Sinai located at 2808 Summit St, said a rabbi found the graffiti around 5:00 a.m.

The graffiti was covered with paper, so people in the community could write love notes before the paint was cleaned off.

Several Jewish synagogues around the Bay Area remain on high alert after several national and local hate crimes.

The graffiti is now gone, according to KRON4’s Terisa Estacio.
