Vandals sprayed anti-Semitic graffiti on a Jewish school in Worcester, Mass. School workers at the New Jewish Academy and the Flagg Street School found windows smashed and anti-Semitic graffiti spray-painted on walls last weekend and on other occasions over the lasts two weeks, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

Police are investigating. “We would like to see this treated as a hate crime if the people responsible are apprehended,” said Robert F. Pezzella, executive assistant to the superintendent for school safety and violence prevention. The New Jewish Academy building is connected to a local synagogue, Cong. Beth Israel.
