The World : Israeli Seminary Ravaged

Vandals invaded a yeshiva, or Jewish seminary, in Tel Aviv, ripping apart sacred Torah scrolls and prayer books in one of the worst outbreaks of anti-religious violence in years, Israel radio reported. The attack on the Hidushai Harin Yeshiva followed an attempt last week to set a Tel Aviv synagogue afire in apparent retaliation for the burning by ultra-Orthodox Jews of bus shelters displaying advertisements of women in revealing swimsuits. Those who entered the yeshiva daubed its walls with such slogans as “Down With the Orthodox” and “Khomeini-ism,” the broadcast added.
