WATCH:
Authorities are investigating after an early morning fire destroyed a South San Jose synagogue.
The incident happened early Wednesday morning at the Chabad House near Branham and Almaden Expressway. Police on Thursday morning said an investigation determined the fire was not a hate incident or racially motivated.
Police said the fire appears to have started outdoors and spread to a carport, later extending into the attic space of the attached building.
Rabbi Mendel Weinfeld showed NBC Bay Area late Wednesday what remains inside of the community center and the synagogue of the Chabad House.
Weinfeld said they moved into the San Jose location just three months ago.
“It’s surreal to see. Devastating to see our synagogue up in flames,” he said.
Weinfeld said the fire tore through the building sometime overnight, destroying the entire downstairs and then reignited.
A garbage truck driver saw the flames and called 911.
