Three fires were intentionally set in the last week at Jewish centers in Massachusetts, authorities said Friday, prompting a federal investigation into the suspected arson attacks.

“Every arson fire causes fear and anxiety in the community, but one in a house of worship especially so," Massachusetts fire marshal Peter Ostroskey said in a statement. The US Attorney's Office in Boston is now coordinating an investigation, a spokesperson for the fire marshal's office said.On May 11, Arlington police and fire officials responded to the Center for Jewish Life around 9 p.m. after a smoke detector went off.

About an hour later, a fire was set at the Chabad Jewish Center in Needham. Rabbi Mendy Krinsky put it out with a fire extinguisher as his wife, Chanie Krinsky, woke their children and got them out of the house, she said in"Thank G-d we are all safe. Hashem has really been watching over us and the only damage was outside to some shingles," she wrote."Somebody out there wants to hurt us. Just because we exist. And that is frightening.

"It has targeted not just a Jewish center, it has targeted our family," he said."And we are hurting because of this, but yet at the end of the day with all the overwhelming support and love that people are showing us across the board, from the Jewish community, clergy from different religions from different backgrounds ... It just shows us we are in a community where we want to stay.""This will not deter us," she said.

Attacks on/in places of worship are particularly hurtful. We humans judge and feel threatened by those we perceive to be different, through religion, race, culture. My heart goes out to MA/American Jews today. May all instances of persecution disappear from our shores forever. 🇺🇸

Disgraceful

Shocked I tell you...
