German police investigate synagogue stone-throwing

Police in the German city of Hanover are investigating after a synagogue’s stained-glass window was damaged on Yom Kippur.

The window in the women’s gallery was reportedly damaged by a stone at around 19:00, close to the conclusion of the Yom Kippur service.

There were no injuries among the 150 congregants.

A police spokesperson confirmed that the window had been damaged but said that the cause had “not yet been clarified.”

The congregation’s Chairman Michael Fürst said that the perpetrator “must have entered the synagogue grounds”.

Mr Fürst added that he was “deeply shocked” by the incident.
