Jewish Social Justice Group Is Target Of ‘Satan’ Vandalism

SAINT PAUL, MN — Employees at Saint Paul's Jewish Community Action say they were disheartened Tuesday when they arrived at their office and discovered they had been the target of vandalism.

"We've reported the incident to all the proper agencies, and the St. Paul police have informed us that several other businesses along University Avenue were also vandalized, though ours was the only one that was, as they said, 'targeted,'" the group said on Facebook.

Executive Director Carin Mrotz told Patch that as a social justice group, Jewish Community Action has been galvanized by the experience and is even more committed to fighting hate than before.

The Twin Cities metro has seen several high profile racist and anti-Semitic incidents this year. In February, a Jewish University of Minnesota student found pro-Nazi language and imagery on his bedroom door.

Later that month, officials at Lakeville South High School said a student scrawled racist and anti-Semitic graffiti on bathroom stalls.
