Antisemitic Vandalism Targets Pasadena Synagogue Destroyed in Eaton Fire Just as the Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center continues rebuilding after being destroyed in the devastating Eaton Fire of 2025, the congregation has once again been targeted—this time by an act of antisemitic vandalism. Authorities are investigating after swastikas and hateful antisemitic graffiti were spray-painted on a memorial mural created as a symbol of hope and resilience following the fire. The synagogue, which has served the community for more than a century, has been operating from a temporary location since its historic campus was destroyed in the wildfire. Community leaders and law enforcement have strongly condemned the vandalism as a hate crime, vowing that those responsible will be brought to justice. Despite the hateful act, synagogue leaders say they remain committed to rebuilding and will not allow antisemitism to overshadow the resilience and unity of their community.
