A swastika wasn't enough. Neither were Molotov cocktails. Now, for the third time in just 21 months, someone has targeted one of Montreal's oldest synagogues, this time apparently firing a pellet gun at its windows. How many times can the same synagogue be attacked before someone gets seriously hurt? Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, located on Sherbrooke Street West in Westmount, was targeted late Thursday night, October 29. Several windows were struck by what investigators believe were pellets. The damage was discovered Friday morning when the synagogue's executive director arrived to prepare for a meeting.

A Montreal synagogue, Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Westmount, was reportedly struck with what its rabbi believes were pellet gun bullets overnight on Thursday. Rabbi Lisa Grushcow stated that the incident involved holes in some windows but no penetration of the building, with no injuries reported. Police have been notified and the investigation is ongoing. This marks the synagogue's third incident in less than two years, following a swastika spray-painted on the building in February 2025 and an arson attempt in June of the same year. Grushcow emphasized that while the motive remains unknown, the context of rising radicalization and antisemitism cannot be ignored. She expressed that the act was deliberate and targeted the synagogue, but the community plans to continue its mission of building bridges between communities, including hosting a guest minister from the United Church for a Shabbat service. Westmount Mayor Michael Stern confirmed awareness of the incident to National Post. The synagogue's executive director discovered the window damage while preparing for a board meeting on Friday. The rabbi stressed the importance of community resilience and unity, stating they would 'do what we always do' despite the challenges. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about antisemitic acts in Montreal and the need for vigilance within religious communities. The synagogue's commitment to fostering interfaith dialogue remains a key part of their response to such incidents.
