Community gathers for anti-hate rally in Natick after anti-Semitic graffiti found near commuter rail station
NATICK - Members of the community gathered in Natick Sunday for an event to denounce hate crimes.
The event comes days after anti-Semitic graffiti was found on a bridge near the West Natick Commuter Rail station. The graffiti has since been covered up with chalk art but will be permanently painted over on Monday.
The group marched across the bridge and held a flag with the word "peace" on it. Organizers said it's important to show unity against such acts of hate.
"Perhaps those that tried to intimidate are looking to create that fear," said Rabbi Levi Fogelman of Chabad Center of Natick. "And we don't want to give them the publicity that they seek but don't deserve."
Natick Police are investigating who left the graffiti.
