Police seek suspect who smashed lamps outside Portsmouth synagogue
Two lamps were vandalized this week outside Temple Israel in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Someone smashed two of the sconces that have been a part of the synagogue for more than a hundred years.
“It’s a hate crime,” said Portsmouth resident Seth Campbell.
The incident, which happened on Monday night, was captured on camera and police have released images of the person they say was responsible for the crime.
“There’s no excuse for this type of behavior,” said Portsmouth resident Cathy Lynch. “No matter what your opinion is on what’s going on in Gaza and Israel. It’s inexcusable behavior.”
Rabbi Ron Fish, the interim regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, says, says antisemitic acts are up more than 300% since October 7.
“The Jewish community continues to be the largest target of religious bigotry in the US,” said Rabbi Fish.
The stained glass on each lamp that was destroyed featured a Jewish star of David.
“In the midst of New Hampshire’s beauty and diversity there are also pockets of hate,” said Fish. “We’ve seen a rise in New Hampshire in similar kinds of acts.”
In a statement, the synagogue said the crime was a “…deliberate desecration of our sacred space and a bigoted attack on our faith community.”

Boston College has a lucky charm ready to bring home a Frozen Four title
When the Boston College men’s hockey team kept their season alive in the Frozen Four College Hockey Championship, 10-year-old Josh Bello was right there in Minnesota watching it all.
“They mean a lot to me,” he said. I like doing stuff with them.”
With this BC team one game away from winning it all, Josh has been there every step of the way, from practices, to games, to on the ice.
Josh is in Minneapolis with Team IMPACT, a local nonprofit that matches kids facing medical challenges with area college teams. Josh, who has a kidney condition, matched with the Eagles.
And what a team this has become! Members of the Eagles even came to one of Josh’s soccer games and his birthday party!
“I can do a lot of things they do, I can ride the bus to games, I can go to a lot of the away games,” he said.
For Josh’s mom, Team IMPACT and this blooming friendship has meant the world.
“We can sit at home on a Friday night and feel sorry or Josh could think about he isn’t quite sort of all of his friends, and it is nice to say we are not going to sit home, we are going to go to a hockey game and take our minds off of it,” Melissa Bello said.
Which brings us to this weekend, with Josh doing what he can to help a team that has helped him so much.
“As awesome as the season has been, BC has certainly, they have had ups and downs too and I think it is helpful for Josh to see how they deal with that,” Melissa Bello said. “It has just beat all of our expectations.”
What it’s like to run the Boston Marathon while visually-impaired
Not only is the Boston Marathon the world’s oldest, but organizers also say it is the world’s most inclusive. The vision of the Boston Athletic Association is to support a world where all people can benefit from running and an active lifestyle.
With that spirit in mind, we caught up with a visually impaired marathoner and his guide. And let’s just say, there are obstacles along the way, during a marathon, that a person with vision might not anticipate.
Kyle Robidoux is legally blind. He will run the 2024 Boston Marathon with some help from his runner guide, Taylor Taylor Slesinksi.
“It makes running a team sport, which is fabulous,” Robidoux explains.
