Nearly 200 gravestones at two Jewish cemeteries in Cincinnati were vandalized, the Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati and the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati said. The vandalism occurred at the Tifereth Israel and the Beth Hamedrash Hagadol cemeteries in the Covedale Cemetery complex and likely happened between June 25 and Monday. The vandalism was discovered early Monday. As of Wednesday morning, no arrests had been made. The FBI and police in Cincinnati are investigating the incident.
Photos posted by the groups showed the gravestones knocked over in the grass, many of them broken. 'Our hearts go out to the families affected by this senseless vandalism,' the federation said in a statement. 'The Jewish community in Cincinnati is resilient and we are committed to repairing the damage and restoring the sanctity of these sacred spaces.' The vandalism comes amid a rise in antisemitic incidents across the country.
