SAN ANTONIO — A Jewish community on the North Side woke to widespread anti-Semitic vandalism Wednesday morning that included spray-painted swastikas, “KKK” lettering and other hateful slurs.
“(We are) saddened and outraged,” said Howard Feinberg, a board member of the Rodfei Sholom Congregation, located near Northwest Military Drive and Huebner Road. “When we were finishing our morning prayers around 7 a.m., we became aware that in the neighborhood around our synagogue, there was a lot of graffiti of the anti-Semitic and racial nature.”
More than 30 cars and houses were tagged with hateful graffiti, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
Additionally, Feinberg said, at least one vehicle had a large rock thrown through the driver-side window.
The Orthodox synagogue serves about 300 families, many of whom live nearby.

A large amount of graffiti was painted on Sholom Drive and Sholom Place surrounding the congregation’s synagogue. More has been located in the Oak Meadow subdivision across Northwest Military, Feinberg said.
“(We are) outraged that in this day and age there are people who still live in their own minds and own worlds where it seems to be okay to hate people based on their religion,” he said.
While community members work to wash the hateful messages from their homes, Feinberg said they already have their eyes on the future.
“We are cleaning up and moving on,” he said, adding that he hopes those responsible will get help.
