HIGHTSTOWN — A candlelight vigil of nearly 100 area residents held in response to anti-Semitic graffiti in three local towns is spurring a new effort to counter acts of hate.
After the Jan. 31 vigil at “The Point” — where Main, South Main and Mercer streets meet and the borough’s new fountain was vandalized Jan. 8 — local activists signed up 59 people for the effort. Among the ideas they will pursue are: conducting workshops for adults, going to schools to speak with children, and establishing a reward fund for the apprehension of those responsible for the vandalism incidents.
