Seattle synagogues defaced with swastikas

(JTA) -- Unknown vandals painted red swastikas on two Seattle-area synagogues.

The swastikas and the phrase "4th Riech" (sic) were painted late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, police and synagogue members told the Seattle Times.

The word Nazi and at least eight other swastikas also were painted on a sidewalk and driveway in the area, Bikur Cholim Machzikay Hadath member Sarah Rivkin told the newspaper.

Congregants at Bikur Cholim Machzikay Hadath and the Sephardic Bikur Holim Congregation were attending Selichot services during the incident.
