Boyle Statement on Vandalism of Congregation Mikveh Israel
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) released the following statement on the recent vandalism and arson of the historic Congregation Mikveh Israel synagogue in his district:
"I am appalled by the disgraceful vandalism and arson of the historic Congregation Mikveh Israel synagogue. I hope the perpetrator is quickly brought to justice and urge anyone with information to submit a tip to the Philadelphia Police Department. Philadelphia stands united against hatred and antisemitism, and we all have a responsibility to combat the unacceptable rise in antisemitism that our Jewish community has faced over the past year."
