BRATTLEBORO-Monday, Sept. 21 was the most solemn and rigorous Jewish holy day of the year: Yom Kippur. A Brattleboro Area Jewish Community (BAJC) member was walking through our cemetery that day. She found antisemitic graffiti - "Epstein work [sic] with Israel" - defacing the sign that clearly marked the area as a Jewish cemetery.
Our community is sharing this incident with greater Brattleboro to shed light on the fact that antisemitism exists here, as it does around the world. Brattleboro is not immune from this flavor of hate. This reality impacts our vibrant congregation every day, from the prayers we chant, to the need for an active and amazing community safety committee, to the security line item in our budget.
