Hate graffiti, knife found at Israeli reform synagogue

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police are investigating hate graffiti that was sprawled on the walls of a reform synagogue in the city of Raanana and death threats addressed to some reform leaders.

Photographs in the Haaretz newspaper show envelopes with names of some of the leaders, including the president of America's Union for Reform Judaism, Rabbi Rick Jacobs and also Anat Hoffman, the chair of Women of the Wall.
