Massachusetts police are investigating three recent arson incidents that took place at two Chabad centers in the Boston area.

The first occurred last Saturday night, at Chabad of Arlington. Firefighters called to the scene discovered wood shingles burning on one side of the building, which also serves as the home of Rabbi Avi Bukiet, his wife Luna and their children.

On Thursday night, Bukiet and his wife, Luna, smelled smoke again.

“I ran out and saw that someone had started another fire,” Luna Bukiet was quoted as saying by Lubavitch.com.

Later on Thursday night, a fire broke out at a Chabad center in another Boston suburb, Needham.

There were no injuries in any of the incidents.

Police are trying to identify individuals seen in security camera footage from both scenes.

Rabbi Mendel Sharfstein — the director of the Global Security Commission at Chabad headquarters — stated, “We are in touch with local emissaries regarding these concerning incidents, as well as members of law enforcement to ensure that the matter is investigated thoroughly. We hope they can make a determination soon about who was behind these heinous acts.”

  1. This was probably at night. But inresponse to the interviews about training or not members of shul, some were right it needs constant practice at shooting ranges. And I saw a great class by a former FBI worker called “run hide fight” it was presented at NYU. I advise all to invite this speaker. Its first choice run. If trully impossible because shooter is coming closer then hide. If he is in front then fight. Its not so simple. The speaker had great ideas. I highly recomend.
