Chabad of Bay Ridge in the News

Heartless vandals deliberately destroyed a Hanukkah Menorah that a religious organization had placed outside a Bay Ridge park, but the victims showed that they weren’t about to let crooks ruin their holiday. They quickly replaced the Menorah with another one.

It was early Thursday morning when Rabbi Tzvi Stroh, from Chabad of bay ridge discovered that the menorah that was placed inside of the park was broken and a sign above that which read “Happy Hanukkah” was stolen, Rabbi Stroh reported the vandalism to police Thursday evening, police sources said.

The Chabad of Bay Ridge’s aluminum menorah was “cracked at the base and bent in the middle” at the corner of 65th Street and 7th Avenue sometime between 2 and 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Rabbi Tzvi Stroh told DNAInfo Friday. An accompanying 3-by-4-foot sign reading “Chabad wishes you a Happy Chanukkah” was stolen also.
