Temple Menorah in Chicago was vandalized in the early morning of Sept. 22, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The building, which houses three Jewish congregations and a Jewish day school for girls, had its windows broken and the sides of its sukkah slashed, the newspaper reported.

Chicago police are investigating the attack as criminal damage to property and have not labeled it a hate crime, though area Jews have.

The temple is located in the Rogers Park neighborhood, which is home to a large concentration of Jews on Chicago’s north side. — jta
