Chabad Center at Michigan State Hit by Two Antisemitic Attacks in One Week

Authorities are investigating two separate acts of vandalism aimed at the Chabad Jewish Center at Michigan State University, incidents that unfolded just days apart and are being treated as hate crimes.

According to police, a swastika was spray-painted on the building, an act first reported by the Lansing State Journal. Law enforcement officials said the vandalism is under investigation as a hate-motivated incident.

Earlier in the week, the Chabad center disclosed on social media that a stone was hurled at one of its windows in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The center said no one was inside the building at the time, and the reinforced glass prevented damage.

The attacks in Michigan come amid a broader wave of antisemitic violence. This week alone, a mass shooting in Sydney, Australia targeted a Chabad event, and members of the Jewish community were assaulted in two separate incidents in New York City.
