Stained-glass windows in three Paris synagogues were broken during Passover week, the Jewish Consistory of Paris told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today. Stones were tossed through the windows of the Rue de la Victoire synagogue, the Saint Lazare Synagogue and the Saint Isaur Synagogue on different evenings

A young university student was caught in the act of defacing a synagogue but he denied any knowledge of the other acts of synagogue vandalism.
