"The center houses small children and seniors, leaving families extremely concerned. It's going to leave the parents a little bit afraid. If something like this could happen at 1:15 in the morning, it could happen anytime."
"We are certainly concerned. Being, first of all, it's a Jewish organization, and you know what's happening country-wide, and especially in New York, we have to be a little more concerned."
"A large black swastika could be seen covering the exterior of a building that also serves as a Holocaust Memorial."
Four teenagers vandalized five locations in Queens, spray-painting swastikas and the name Hitler. The incidents occurred in Forest Hills and Rego Park and are being investigated as a hate crime by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force. The Rego Park Jewish Center was particularly affected, raising concerns among families due to its proximity to children and seniors. Rabbi Romiel Daniel expressed fear over the safety of the community, highlighting a nationwide increase in antisemitism that has also impacted New York.
