Graffiti in Toronto claims Jews were responsible for Sept. 11 terror attacks
Graffiti claiming that Jews were responsible for the Sept. 11 terror attacks was painted on a building in Toronto and a highway overpass in Canada over the weekend.
Among the writing was "Jews did 911" and "Jews ran the slave trade." Also painted on the wall of the building was the website for a group known as the Goyim Defense League. Similar graffiti also appeared on a highway overpass outside of Toronto.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, the group is "a loose network of individuals connected by their virulent anti-Semitism. It includes six primary organizers/public figures and thousands of online followers."
"This disgraceful graffiti promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jews was spotted earlier today in Toronto's east end," posted the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center on Twitter. "Such attempts at spreading hatred will never be tolerated in this city."
B'nai Brith Canada also expressed its outrage at the vandalism, calling the graffiti on the overpass "disturbing" and saying it was "timed to coincide with the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks."
Both Canadian Jewish groups said the incidents were reported to local police and that an investigation is underway.
The vandalism comes amid a spate of anti-Semitic graffiti. Late last month, swastikas were found painted in various locales in Toronto, including on a synagogue, in a public park and on campaign signs for Jewish candidates running for parliamentary election in Canada.
Meanwhile, the Toronto Police Department announced that it is partnering with the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and will have an outdoor "incident reporting center" on Yom Kippur "that will allow members of the Jewish community to report to our community safety partners any suspicious or criminal events which may have been observed or experienced in the neighborhood or when walking to and from prayer services," according to the press release from the Toronto Police.
Officials from UJA will be staffing the center on Wednesday evening and again on Thursday throughout the day and will share information with the police as needed. They also held a pop-up security reporting booth during Rosh Hashanah.

Chabad rabbi makes Shabbat jacket to carry guns to synagogue
Rabbi Raziel Cohen doesn't want you to have to draw a gun in synagogue. But if you must, he doesn't want you to waste precious time unbuttoning your kapota, a type of jacket worn by men in the Chabad Hasidic community on Shabbat and Jewish holidays.
So Cohen, a firearms instructor who goes by the moniker "The Tactical Rabbi," worked with Shaul Snovsky, who sells kapotas in South Florida, to create the Tactical Kapota. The jacket, which looks like any other kapota, closes with snaps instead of buttons for easy opening. Its cost: $550.
"The issue came up with when you wear a kapota … the 'gartel' gets in the way and the kapota gets in the way and it can make it dangerous to draw your weapon," Cohen said, using the Yiddish word for the belt worn over the kapota.

MORE THAN 120 POLICE OFFICERS MONITOR ORDER AT AIRPORT ON DAYS OF HASIDIC PILGRIMS’ ARRIVAL
More than 120 police officers of Kyiv region provide protection of public safety and order at the Boryspil airport during the arrival of Hasidic pilgrims, the Interior Ministry's Telegram channel reported on Wednesday.

There is also a Situation Center at the airport, which is also responsible for coordinating the activities of the law enforcement units involved.
As reported, this year the mass celebration of the Jewish New Year falls on September 6-8. Several thousand Hasidic pilgrims have already arrived in Uman, Cherkasy region, to celebrate the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah in advance, as not everyone was able to attend the celebration last year due to intensified anti-epidemic measures. In total, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine expects the arrival of more than 20,000 believers this year.
It is known that every autumn pilgrims go to Uman to celebrate Rosh Hashanah on the grave of their spiritual leader Nachman. He was born in the town of Medzhybizh (Khmelnytsky region now) in 1772 (5532 from the creation of the world according to the Jewish calendar). Then he led a nomadic lifestyle, visited different towns of Ukraine, mainly Medvedivka and Zlatopil, and spent the last eight years of his life in Braslav (now – Belarus). In 1808, Rabbi Nachman contracted tuberculosis and settled in Uman, where he was buried in 1810. Since then, the city has become a center of Hasidic worship, where they gather from all over the world every Jewish New Year.
