Disgrace: On Founders Street in Kiryat Ata, the city's large Ashkenazi synagogue was broken into. The HaKashteh synagogue is located in the state building, in a building that used to house a mosque, and is used by the city's ultra-Orthodox sector.
The synagogue was apparently broken into by thieves who were looking for the charity boxes.
Shimi, a synagogue worshipper, tells the Haredim10: "On the very day when the entire country celebrates independence, our misery becomes apparent - that we are considered as inferior to the Gentiles. We break into a synagogue in order to find a few shekels.".

During the night, the synagogue of the Makwa community in the city was also broken into. Damage was caused to both places.
The police have opened an investigation into both cases.
