Arson Suspected in Three Fires At Jewish Centers
Posted By Mikhael Smits On May 17, 2019 @ 3:25 pm
Fires at Jewish centers in Massachusetts were deliberately set, authorities now believe. Two were an hour apart, and two struck one house the same week.
Police responded to reports of fires two Massachusetts cities Thursday night. One, at a Chabad rabbi's home in Arlington, burned for less than a minute before police responded to put out the flames.
On Thursday night, police responded to a second fire in a Massachusetts Chabad house. Arriving at the Needham Chabad house, police found another exterior fire. Rabbi Mendy Krinsky, who runs that center with his wife Chanie, had already put out the fire. Needham is just over ten miles, less than an hour's drive, from Arlington.
Chabad is an Orthodox Jewish organization dedicated to outreach work around the world. Last month, a white supremacist opened fire in a Chabad house in California, killing one and wounding several.
