More anti-Chanukah craziness in Rockland County, New York.

Menorah vandalism prompts reward

All nine bulbs in a 9-foot menorah at Veteran's Memorial Park downtown were destroyed over the weekend, said Rabbi Chaim Ehrenreich, director of Chabad of Chestnut Ridge, which sponsored the display. Ehrenreich said that when he arrived for a menorah-lighting ceremony shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday, just two bulbs remained on the menorah and seven were either missing or found smashed nearby.

The ceremony proceeded as planned, using candles, he said.

The next night, Ehrenreich said, he returned to the display about the same time and found that the remaining bulbs had been destroyed and the sockets pulled out.

It's so bad, that Senator Clinton had to come to the area to speak out against it.

Clinton condemns anti-Semitism

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton came to Rockland yesterday to condemn recent anti-Semitic acts in the county.

"It's not just vandalism and not just something to be passed off," she said to the group of 60 guests at the Rockland County Holocaust Museum and Study Center. "They are an affront to everyone."
