Congregants and Officials Gather at Vandalized Pasadena Synagogue to Reject Hate

Congregants, elected officials, and neighbors gathered at the fire-damaged Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center to reject hate after antisemitic graffiti, including swastikas, were found on a community mural that had previously covered earlier graffiti. The July 30 event took place at the site of the Eaton Fire, which destroyed the synagogue in January 2025.
