‘Brazen antisemitism’: More mezuzahs stolen in Toronto, police probe potential hate crime

For the second time this month, mezuzahs affixed to the doorways of Jewish homes in Toronto have been stolen in what police say they are investigating as a potential hate crime.

Just after noon on Dec. 25, the Toronto Police Service was notified of four mezuzahs that were taken from door frames for four condo units in a building on Bayview in the suburban neighbourhood of North York.

A mezuzah is a small tube affixed outside and often within the home that holds a prayer scroll.
