Jewish temple in Sun City vandalized on first night of Hanukkah

[marybourg]

Rabbi Shelly Moss said that Temple Beth Shalom, 12202 N. 101st Ave., near Grand and 103 avenues had its outside menorah damaged, apparently by a truck.

In addition, the temple’s Holocaust memorial and kids’ basketball court were damaged.

“It’s a hate crime,” Rabbi Moss said. “Sun City doesn’t have hate crime often. It’s really a shock. We have to defend ourselves and go out to the community for their support. There are a lot more good people than bad people but we have to respond.”

1. "Sun City doesnt have hate crime often."

There's Clemson and Ohio State fans already in the vicinity for the Fiesta Bowl, located in nearby Glendale.

Just tossing that out there...

2. Yes, true.

But every community has its crazies, altho by the time they're old enuf to live in the Sun Cities, the crazy has often burned itself out. Some oldsters have younger relatives (must be over 18) living with them, sometimes because the younger person has gotten into trouble elsewhere.
