TORONTO — Police are investigating after a synagogue in North York was vandalized overnight, with a window found shattered Saturday morning.

Officers responding to reports of damage at the house of worship in the Bathurst Street and Glencairn Avenue area discovered that an object had apparently been used to break a window. No injuries were reported.

The case has been assigned to the hate crime unit as investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Authorities said no suspect information was immediately available.

Another synagogue hit with vandalism, one day before a Jewish parade

Another day, another Jewish synagogue hit by vandals in Canada.

The vandalism comes amid heightened concerns over antisemitic incidents in Toronto and across Canada. Jewish community organizations have reported a significant increase in acts targeting Jewish institutions and individuals in recent years.

The incident also occurred just before a major pro-Israel community event scheduled for Sunday in North York, expected to draw thousands of participants.

In recent months, law enforcement agencies have responded to several incidents involving synagogues and other Jewish institutions in the Greater Toronto Area. Police have increased security efforts around places of worship and other community sites as part of broader measures to address hate-motivated activity.

The investigation remains ongoing.
