Two Bergen County communities have had their Chanukah celebrations interrupted by anti-Semitic vandalism in recent weeks.

In Hackensack, vandals spray painted a swastika on the door of the Temple Beth El sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday, according to a report from CBS2 in New York.

The message "Jews did 9/11" was also painted on the ground outside the building.

The discovery of the Hackensack vandalism came not long after an interfaith solidarity ceremony in Maywood, held in response to similar acts of vandalism earlier this month.

Police tell The Record they're treating the incidents as related.
