BROOKLYN (VosIzNeias) — A fire was set on the steps of the Brooklyn Jewish Center in Park Slope early Yom Kippur morning.
An unknown individual set a backpack on fire and left it on the steps of the Jewish center at approximately 1:00 AM on Wednesday, where it was discovered by police.
The FDNY arrived and extinguished the blaze.
The identity of the perpetrator is unknown at this time, however the NYPD reports that an unidentified male was seen setting the backpack on fire and fleeing on foot.
The investigation is ongoing.

If this was a facetious response based on your lack of knowledge of Brooklyn, please be advised that the Brooklyn Jewish Center, which used to be a Conservative temple, was taken over years ago by Chabad. If it wasn’t facetious, then it was totally off-base.
The fire wasn’t at the Jewish Center in Crown Heights. The location is in Park Slope and it doesn’t appear to be Shomer Shabbos, unfortunately.
The Park Slope Jewish Center originally was a orthodox shul. It became conservative over 20 years ago but tolerated an orthodox minyon in the basement for a while. They have had a female clergyperson for at least 15 years who is a lesbian. She hid her sexual orientation at the time of her ordination because at that time the conservative movement hadn’t yet approved of “gay”clergy.
Perhaps the fire was a hate crime based on the clergymember;s sexual orientation
DOES NOT MATTER! BOTH MEAT AND MILK WERE IN THE BUILDING, SO THIS ATTEMPTED ARSON WAS NOT ALLOWED ACCORDING TO THE TORAH! OH WAIT, ARSON WASN’T ALLOWED IN THE FIRST PLACE! ALL THE MORE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HIS COMMENT WAS INNOCENT AS HELL! PUPPIES ARE NOT KOSHER EITHER, DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE BAD? NO, IT MEANS THEY ARE NOT FOOD! IT FOLLOWS THAT MILK AND MEAT ARE FOODS WHEN SEPARATE, BUT NOT WHEN TOGETHER. THERE IS A DEEPER LESSON TO BE LEARNED FROM THIS!
Trump’s ‘fine people’ are active in Brooklyn. He sold out the Kurds. Who’s next?
A cup of coffee says that when the perpetrator is caught, he will not be a Trump supporter. Though I am far from being a Trump chasid, I really don’t think that the facts will support your off-base reasoning.
Moron take your meds. NYC are radical leftist liberals like yourself.
Big bird communist DeBlasoi letting these punks get away with this.
NYPD loves ” invedtigating” to no end
