The Diocese of Spokane condemns today’s act of anti-Semitic vandalism at Temple Beth Shalom. It is shocking to see our Jewish friends and neighbors targeted by this hateful action. The Church firmly “decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone.”* Our prayers are with the Jewish community of Spokane. *Vatican Council II, Nostra Aetate, 3.
