In Smolensk they tried to desecrate Hanukkiah
On the night of December 14, 2009, in Smolensk, unknown people tried to damage a large Hanukkah (a lamp that is lit on the Hanukkah holiday) installed in the city center. However, the rioters managed to smash only holiday signs and posters.
Rabbi Levi Mondschein of Smolensk and the head of the local Jewish community Zinoviy Agranat filed a complaint with the police.
According to L. Mondschein, several vandals took part in the action, "since one person could not cause such significant damage . "
