A menorah in front of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity house was damaged by an unknown suspect, according to State College Police.

The nine-foot menorah, which was worth several thousand dollars, was vandalized sometime after 10 p.m. on Nov. 29. It had decorated the Jewish fraternity's house, located at 328 E. Fairmount Ave.

Police said the menorah was found knocked over, and two of its branches and the wiring were damaged.

"These types of incidents, regardless of the intent, impact us all, Jewish or non-Jewish, fraternity/sorority members or non-members," Zeta Beta Tau said in a statement. "Hate has no place on our campuses and in our communities. Our brothers at Penn State will be working with our Jewish partners on campus to educate their peers about anti-Semitism and other hateful acts."

Adam Schwartz, Zeta Beta Tau's president, said the fraternity fundraised this year to purchase the menorah in order to "celebrate and support the Jewish community."

Schwartz said the fraternity found the damaged menorah at around 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 30, and reported the incident to police soon after.

The case is still active, and police do not currently have any suspects. Schwartz said the fraternity is reviewing surveillance footage with the police.

"Given other recent hate-based incidents across our country, Zeta Beta Tau will double- and triple-down our efforts to root out intolerance and hate," the statement said. "ZBT is committed to being part of the solution by educating those in need of it to make a safer and more inclusive world for all."

In 2017, four Penn State students faced charges after damaging and stealing Sigma Alpha Mu's menorah, as previously reported by the Daily Collegian.
