A mezuzah was “torn off’ the door frame of a Stanford University student last week, the university’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) has said.
In a statement on its website, Stanford said the item was “torn off a door frame” last Tuesday afternoon.
Stanford’s DPS explained: “It is significant that this incident occurred on the last day of Rosh Hashanah.
“Targeting of mezuzahs is a form of intimidation and bigotry to the Jewish community. At this time the offending party(ies) is/are unknown.”
