A Brooklyn synagogue canceled Thursday night after "Kill all Jews" and other anti-Semitic vandalism was found written in a stairwell.
Ilana Glazer of the Central Comedy show "Broad City" was set to interview New York state Senate candidates Andrew Gounard and Jim Gaughran at the Union Temple in Brooklyn Heights as part of a "get out the vote" campaign.
The word "Hitler" was also written in the building, the outlet reported.
"[Glazer] did not feel comfortable ushering 200 people into the enclosed space; potential sitting ducks, "waited Kathryn Gonzalez told The Daily Beast. "Especially given last weekend's events and the election election, the tension and fear feels heightened."
Last Saturday, a gunman killed 11 people and wounded six others at the Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue. Authorities say the suspect targeted Jews, and social media posts show he had a history of making anti-Semitic statements. Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, who survived the shooting, attended multiple funerals.
"After preparing for funeral, you get a little verklempt," Myers told The Associated Press.
There have been no arrests in the Temple vandalism case. The NYPD's hate crime unit is now investigating.
