Yemenite synagogue in central town broken into, holy books ripped apart

A Yemenite synagogue in a central town was broken into and vandalized yesterday ahead of Shabbat, footage shows.

Members of the Mishkan Shalom Synagogue in Kadima-Zoran turned up for Shabbat prayers yesterday evening to find torn-up prayer books and Torahs, one of the worshipers tells the Ynet news site.

“There’s never been a pogrom like this,” the synagogue says in a statement, according to Ynet. “After we saw the horrors, we closed the place, and because of the holy sabbath, we submitted a complaint to the police after Shabbat.”
