Swastikas Found At Mount Kisco Synagogue's Nursery School

MOUNT KISCO, NY — Westchester County Police are investigating anti-Semitic vandalism at the Bet Torah synagogue on Smith Avenue in Mount Kisco. Staff members told police on Sunday that two swastikas had been spray-painted on the side of the nursery school.

The swastikas were each about 2-feet-by 2-feet in diameter, police said. The wall of the nursery school where the images were spray-painted is adjacent to a playground on the property.

The wall where the swastikas were found is next to the synagogue's playground, police said. The vandalism probably took place overnight Saturday. The area is accessible both on foot and by vehicle.

Detectives from the county police General Investigations Unit have canvassed the neighborhood since Sunday but no one reports hearing or seeing any suspicious persons or activity in or around Bet Torah in the hours when the incident occurred.

Police ask anyone with information on the anti-Semitic graffiti to call the department’s tip line at 1-800-898-8477 or email tips@wccops.com.
