Michigan synagogue vandalized for second time in 2 months
A synagogue in Battle Creek, Michigan, has been vandalized for the second time in two months.
A concrete carving of a menorah on the front of Temple Beth El was spray-painted with an unknown but deliberate symbol, and the word “lier,” presumably a misspelling of liar.
For the second time in as many months Temple Bath-El in Battle Creek has been vandalized. I’m working on reaching out to temple leaders and BCPD for a statement. pic.twitter.com/0ikuBhOikK

The vandalism was reported on Sunday morning, according to the local media.
On November 23, an unknown vandal took a hammer and chisel to the concrete menorah, damaging the carving.
