Support pouring in for temple where hateful posters found

From our media partners at WOOD TV:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Messages of support are being sent to Temple Emanuel in Grand Rapids after anti-Semitic messages were posted at the Jewish synagogue over the weekend.

Two posters were found taped to the doors of the temple around 8 a.m. Sunday.

“Not sure what their (the vandals’) outlying goal is, but certainly it’s of concern at the Grand Rapids Police Department,” GRPD Sgt. John Wittkowski said Monday. “We don’t tolerate any sort of behavior (like this), nor should the community.”

It isn’t, Temple Emanuel Rabbi Michael Shadick said. He told News 8 that his email inbox is full of messages of love. 

“We are heartened by the fact that churches and members of the community who we know and those that we don’t know have called and emailed and lent their voices in support,” Shadick said.

Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss called the rabbi to condemn the acts.
