Police here were investigating today the defacing of Petach Tikvah Synagogue and the building next door belonging to the Independent Order Brith Sholom where vandals scrawled obscene inscriptions along with references to Eichmann. Many of the scrawls were misspelled or almost illiterate in their printing.
A spokesman for Brith Sholom said that the latest incident, in which the synagogue suffered most of the damage, followed a series of burglaries, broken windows and other damage to the two buildings.
