“They’re obviously disturbed. To take excrement and throw a bag and empty stuff like that out, you’re attacking the people who are coming there, who are praying.”
A bigot hurled motor oil and feces at a pair of Queens synagogues last week, according to police sources and a neighborhood safety group. Disgusted worshippers discovered the stomach-turning mess Friday morning outside the houses of worship, said Steven Saphirstein, community outreach coordinator for neighborhood safety group Queens Shmira.
Obtained by NY Post Grainy surveillance footage captured the “nutjob” running and hurling the mixture at the Young Israel of Jamaica Estates at 83-10 188th St. around 11:45 p.m. Thursday before fleeing the area, according to Saphirstein. The vandal also targeted the Young Israel of Holliswood at 86-25 Francis Lewis Blvd. , more than a mile away, about 45 minutes earlier, according to the NYPD. Photos shared with The Post show the disgusting substance outside the Orthodox synagogues.

“To take excrement and throw a bag and empty stuff like that out, you’re attacking the people who are coming there, who are praying. ”It’s not the first time Young Israel of Jamaica Estates was attacked with feces. About a month ago, a bag of excrement was found in a Jewish newspaper box steps away from the synagogue, according to Saphirstein. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating both incidents.
