Canadian man charged after targeted vandalism of Saskatchewan synagogue
A 31 year old Saskatchewan man was charged after eggs were thrown at a Saskatoon synagogue and associated vehicles during Shabbat services, police said.
A 31-year-old Dundurn man turned himself in to the Saskatoon Police Service on Friday, charged with three counts of mischief under $5,000. The charges arise from an investigation into reports of eggs being thrown at the Congregation Agudas Israel Synagogue and nearby vehicles during morning Shabbat services on August 1. Superintendent James Oliver emphasized the significance of hate crimes targeting faith-based communities and the impact on their sense of safety and belonging.
CIJA welcomed the arrest, stating that attacking a place of worship is deeply disturbing and reflects hate targeting Jewish Canadians. The incident is part of a broader wave of attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions across Canada over the past month, including suspected antisemitic arson and shooting attacks.
