Authorities in Philadelphia are currently investigating a series of disturbing incidents that occurred at the Congregation Mikveh Israel, a historic synagogue in Center City. The synagogue, founded in 1740, is the oldest continuous synagogue in the United States.
The first incident took place around 2 a.m. when an individual set a dumpster on fire next to the building, causing damage to a window. Surveillance footage captured the suspect inside the dumpster before it was engulfed in flames.
