Local Jewish faith center holds first in-person Shabbat in over a year, a half – KVOA Tucson News
Posted By admin on September 4, 2021
TUCSON (KVOA) - A local synagogue held its very first in-person Shabbat on Friday after it was vandalized back in May.
On May 18, Congregation Chaverim, a local Jewish faith center in Tucson, was found at around 8 a.m. with one of its glass doors smashed with a rock.
A similar act of vandalism was also reported to another Jewish faith center on June 7. According to reports, Chabad on River was struck with antisemitic vandalism. Officials reported that a swastika and an antisemitic slur were spray-painted onto a classroom door of the congregation.
Tucson police have arrested the suspect, Nathan Beaver, connected to the vandalism on Chabad on River.
On Friday, Arizona Rep. Alma Hernandez, who is also a member of Congregation Chaverim, announced that after over a year and a half, Congregation Chaverim will be hosting its first in-person Shabbat.
Hernandez said that this Shabbat will be very special.
