Rabbi Anna Maranta posted a photo of the graffiti on Facebook, suggesting it was an aftereffect of Donald Trump's election.

"This. This is what has been unleashed by the American President Elect, and those that support him," she wrote.

Maranta, who holds some religious services in her home, lives in the affluent Glebe neighbourhood of Ottawa. The rabbi did not immediately respond to a BuzzFeed Canada request for comment, but she told the Ottawa Citizen she has not received any recent threats or intimidation.
