After two incidents of antisemitic vandalism targeted a Chabad center in Guelph, Ontario, Rabbi Raphi Steiner told JNS that he worries his children are growing up in an environment reminiscent of what his Holocaust-survivor grandparents experienced.

The first incident occurred on May 30, when Steiner arrived for Shabbat morning services and discovered graffiti on a front window stating “death to genocidal Israhell.”

The Chabad operates as a synagogue and campus outreach hub serving the University of Guelph community.
