The fire that tore through a historic Lower East Side synagogue Sunday night was deliberately set, according to the NYPD’s Chief of Detectives.
Police had reviewed surveillance footage of three young people running from the area surrounding the Beth Hamedrash Hagodol synagogue around the time of the fire, the 7th Precinct’s Deputy Inspector told DNAinfo New York Monday, but considered it too early to determine whether there was any criminality involved.
The NYPD now believes the fleeing teens likely caused the blaze, said Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce.
“The synagogue fire in the 7th precinct, we do think it’s arson, a purposeful fire,“ said Boyce at an unrelated news conference in the Bronx on Tuesday, adding police were now seeking to arrest those responsible.
“We were able to recover video. Initially, witnesses said they saw a young group running from the location. We have that video. We’re looking at it now. It’s very probative. We looking forward to making an arrest in that case.”
The FDNY would not confirm Boyce’s comments, but said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The landmarked structure was mostly reduced to rubble by the massive fire — the ceiling and some of the walls collapsed, leaving a 15-foot pile of debris on the first floor of the synagogue, though the library basement remained largely preserved.
The Department of Buildings and the Landmarks Preservation Commission are still in the process of assessing the damage, representatives for both agencies said.

just say if you are a kahanist or not?
Fine, I’m not.
I agree a lot of what they say, but the rule of religious law, and dismissal of reform and conservative Jews pushes me away. There certainly needs to be unity, pride, defence, etc, but that involves inclusion of reformists and conservatives. For a lot of people, reform and conservative Judaism act as a vehicle for those with Jewish blood but a family that does not practice to enter properly into the ‘Jewish family’, I guess
tl;dr, they need secularism, inclusion of reformists and conservatives, as a way for those of Jewish blood to reconnect with Jewish heritage, and i’d agree 100%.

So, what's with all the antisemitism? I see some white nationalists and such in your reblogs. Are you a Nazi?
No, I’m not a National Socialist (which is the correct term, not Nazi). I do however agree with them in a lot of areas, particularly the Jews. And I am most definitely a white nationalist (which again, is not the same thing as a National Socialist).
