FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 11, 2019 file photo, candles reflect in an entrance sign after a human chain with lights was formed around the Jewish synagogue during the Sabbath celebrations in Halle (Saale), Germany, following an attack on the synagogue on Yom Kippur 2019. Together with other young Jews from Berlin, the 29-year-old had traveled to the eastern German city to celebrate Yom Kippur, which fell on Oct. 9 in 2019, with the small, aging community there. While many Jewish institutions get some kind of protection — particularly on Jewish holidays — the Halle synagogue didn't have any. Now steps are being taken to ensure wider-spread security, said Josef Schuster, the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Since Halle, she said, she and others who were at the Yom Kippur service have been questioning whether Germany is where they want to build their future lives as Jews.

Stephen Chernin/Getty Images(CNN) - New York State Police are investigating after anti-Semitic materials were discovered at a Holocaust memorial in Westchester County on the eve of Yom Kippur. Anti-Semitic "stickers" were found at the entrance gate of the Garden of Remembrance memorial in downtown White Plains on Tuesday, according to Catherine Cioffi, the communications director for Westchester County. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday he directed the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to assist local authorities in their investigation, adding he is "disgusted" by the incident. Westchester County Executive George Latimer issued a statement on Facebook saying that County Police are "actively investigating and reviewing video of the area." The county has organized an interfaith prayer vigil at the Holocaust memorial Thursday at noon in light of the incident, said Cioffi.
