A popular bakery in Surry Hills, Sydney, owned by Jewish TV chef Ed Almagor, was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti, sparking concern within the local Jewish community. Avner Bakery, known for its Israeli and Eastern European delicacies, was targeted with threatening messages, including an inverted red triangle and a note cautioning the owner.
Almagor, a well-known figure in Australia’s culinary scene, took to social media to share the shocking incident, highlighting the challenges faced by the Jewish community in Sydney. Despite the attack taking place on Yom Kippur, a significant day for the Jewish community, Almagor remained defiant against the hateful act, drawing parallels to historical events in Europe.
The vandalism has raised alarms within the Jewish community, with concerns about the increasing anti-Semitic sentiments in Sydney. The incident is currently under investigation by New South Wales Police, urging anyone with information to come forward. In light of recent global tensions, the attack serves as a stark reminder of the importance of combatting hatred and discrimination.
