A large coalition of Jewish community leaders and elected officials gathered in Forest Hills on Tuesday evening to condemn a spate of antisemitic attacks that took place in the area on Monday, which saw four teen suspects spray-paint swastikas and other antisemitic symbols at five different locations.

Tuesday’s rally took place at Congregation Machane Chodosh, an orthodox synagogue located at 67-29 108th St. that was targeted in the recent attacks, with vandals defacing a memorial dedicated to the victims of Kristallnacht, an anti-Jewish pogrom carried out by the Nazis in 1938.
