Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter, released the following statement about the hateful graffiti spray painted on the front of Woodward Avenue Shul over the weekend:

“The recent hateful act of anti-Semitic vandalism at the Woodward Avenue Shul was deeply disturbing and unacceptable. We all have a responsibility to denounce hatred when we see it, and I am confident that residents from across Oakland County will join me in denouncing anti-Semitism and in rejecting it in all its forms in our communities. Thank you to the staff at the City of Royal Oak for quickly removing the graffiti prior to Shabbat.”
