The [Saskatoon] Jewish community was struggling to understand Saturday why someone would start a fire in their synagogue library, destroying thousands of irreplaceable books. . .
We had some religious books there that were 150 years old that have been lost and a lot of archives of our community history,\” he said. \”There were a lot of valuable irreplaceable books that disappeared in the fire.\”
Last month, one of Toronto\’s oldest synagogues was broken into and books were set ablaze. The fire caused about $100,000 in damage . . .
