Police officers were watching both the Emanu-El Congregation Synagogue on Blanshard Street and the Chabad Centre for Jewish Life and Learning on Glasgow Street
Victoria police stationed officers and patrol vehicles in front of Jewish centres Friday after a former Hamas leader called on supporters to participate in a “day of rage” in reaction to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
VicPD said in a statement that it had special duty officers assigned to various locations Friday, including the synagogue and Jewish Community Centre. “Day of rage” demonstrations spread from the Middle East on Friday into other countries, including Malaysia, Bangladesh and Japan. The Jewish community held a prayer vigil Thursday evening that drew about 400 people to Centennial Square, where Brechner called for an end to “violence against all civilians no matter where they may be.”
He has three children, ages 4, 9 and 11. He said he and his wife haven’t made any attempts to hide their worries about the war. “We talk to our families daily and our friends there, so experience it,” said Gilad. Dahlia Beck, who has several relatives in Israel and had a distant family member murdered at a music festival during the Hamas attacks, said she is grieving the state of war.
