In recent months, many Jewish sites of worship have been vandalized across the US.
The inscription "White Power" was found graffitied on Temple Beth Israel in Oregon in early March.
In November, three synagogues were marked with antisemitic inscriptions, such as “Shame on Israel," “You know better," and “Stop killing."
