San Fernando Valley : Congregation’s Office Vandalized, Robbed
A swastika and the words “white power” were emblazoned in black spray paint on the walls of a North Hollywood congregation’s office over the weekend, according to a rabbi.
At the offices of the Ohr Torah congregation, computer equipment and other office machines were taken after intruders jimmied the office door, Rabbi Mordecai Finley said.
The thefts clouded theories about the motive for the attack, making it unclear whether the incident was a hate crime or a burglary. Finley discovered the swastika Sunday when he dropped by the North Hollywood office.
The congregation, which meets in a Baptist church in West Los Angeles, numbers 200.
