Anti-Semitic attack at Hamburg synagogue

 - We live in 2020 and sadly there is still anti-Semitism in Europe. Why?

"A man attacked a Jewish citizen outside the Hohe Weide synagogue in Hamburg on Sunday, according to police.

The man swung a foldable shovel, injuring a 26-year-old before the synagogue's security personnel were able to restrain him. He was later taken into custody by Hamburg police. Germany's DPA news agency reported the 29-year-old suspect was carrying a piece of paper with a swastika in his pocket.

The victim, reported to be a Jewish student, suffered serious injuries to the head and was admitted to a local hospital for treatment, according to the daily Süddeutsche Zeitung. His injuries are serious though not life-threatening."

"The German Orthodox Rabbinical Conference (ORD) has described the attack as "another shock to the Jewish community in Germany."

"It is unbearable to see hatred and violence against Jews erupt again and again on German streets, and this comes during the holiest Jewish holidays and one year after the terrible attack in Halle," said ORD chairman Avichai Apel on Sunday."
