The synagogue in Babruysk in eastern Ukraine was vandalized twice in the past week.
The synagogue's secretary, Maya Savatseyeva, told RFE/RL that vandals smashed the synagogue's windows at about 2 a.m. on November 18. On November 11, a swastika and "Death to Jews!" was daubed on the fence surrounding the synagogue.
The town's Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Shaul Habobo said that the local government is providing security for the synagogue while the police continue to search for the perpetrators.
�Everything is pretty much repaired,� he said. �Thank God, we have put this behind us.�
The local Jewish community numbers about 50, mostly elderly, people.
