Only the breadth of the wood and the ineptitude of the arsonists protected the structure and the Torah scrolls inside. A month has passed, and no suspects have been arrested. After all, in Beersheba, there is a synagogue that has its windows smashed regularly. If you're asking exactly what kind of synagogue was burned, please don't. For its meticulousness, Goerring's report didn't list synagogues by categories.
Arsonists tend to be indiscriminate.
In Sacramento, one of the synagogues had previously been firebombed. Next came attempted arson. This is the time to apply our celebrated Israeli intelligence skills - so much better than appointing a commission of inquiry after the crime. In addition to law enforcement, we need massive human reinforcement of positive values. And this very weekend in Sacramento, the anniversary of the burnings is being marked by two days of community service.
