Montreal police are investigating after the menorah outside an NDG Jewish community centre was vandalized Sunday.
The 3.5 metre-high menorah outside the Chabad NDG Jewish Community Centre on Hingston Ave. was knocked over and the base was broken.
“The Menorah is a symbol of light spreading forth to the NDG area and the entire world. It is a symbol of our Jewish pride and it feels like this act is challenging that,” said centre director Rabbi Yisroel Bernath in a statement.
Police have no suspects or leads. Investigators have opened a file but are not calling the incident a hate crime.
