On December 29th, a Jewish family in Hastings on Hudson in Westchester awoke to find swastikas spraypainted on their home. In response, hundreds of community members rallied last night at Temple Beth Shalom in a show of support and to condemn anti-Semitism and bigotry. ADL New York Regional Director Evan Bernstein stood with community leaders, noting “this town won’t be defined by an act of hate.”
