Kosher Florida Cafe Attacked by Vandals
A new kosher restaurant in Florida owned and managed by Israelis has received anti-Semitic hate mail and graffiti for the last month.
The messages have been tacked to the door and windows of The Mozart Cafe in Deerfield Beach, the Florida Jewish Journal reported. They include “go home” and “go to hell,” as well as anti-Semitic graffiti, the newspaper reported. Police have investigated twice.
The cafe opened four months ago.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
