NYC Public Advocate and Mayoral candidate released the following statement to YWN following the hate crime on Monday evening, at which eleven Mezuzas were burned:
“Nothing but hatred can explain why someone would burn mezuzahs on Yom Hashoah, the day we remember the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust. This is a sickening act of prejudice that strikes at the very core of who we are as a city. Make no mistake: we will find those responsible. I thank the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force and Deputy Inspector Mark DiPaolo of the 90th Precinct for their quick response and ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information about this hateful crime should immediately call the NYPD confidential tips line 1-800-577-TIPS.”

Who said there is a connection to Yom Hashoah? Can not believe that the culprit even knows that the day exists.
He probably does and picked this day to cause maximum pain
Don’t get why doing it on any other day is diffrent…..
