UPDATE: "Members of Manchester's Jewish community are calling
on police to thoroughly investigate the vandalism of a Jewish
chapel. Eleven windows in a chapel at Manchester's Hebrew
Cemetery were found smashed Friday. Jewish officials said a
Manchester synagogue also was defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti
and swastikas this year while anti-Jewish literature was
distributed in some of the state's communities as well. Jewish
officials said only a thorough investigation can rule out
anti-Semitism in the chapel vandalism. The Anti-Defamation League
in Boston also has called for an in-depth investigation.
