Vandals threw prayer books and tallis shawls to the floor and shattered windows at the synagogue of Noisy-le-Grand of the Seine-Saint-Denis district, according to The Algemeiner.
The only items stolen were two vacuum cleaners, synagogue caretaker Maurice Zana told Anach Infos, a French-language Jewish news website, according to The Algemeiner.
“They must have been upset that there was nothing else to take,” he reportedly said.
After the incident, the French anti-Semitism watchdog group, the Bureau National de Vigilance Contr L’Antisemtisme (BNVCA), called for additional security measures to be implemented.
“Despite the measures taken, things persist, and I think that we need additional legislation, because the Jewish community is angered,” BNVCA president Sammy Ghozlan told The Algemeiner.

A synagogue in the Eastern Paris neighborhood of Noisy-le-Grand was vandalized three times in the past ten days. “I am 73 years old and I cried like a child,” synagogue caretaker Maurice Zana told Anach Infos, a French-language Chabad news website.
The synagogue caretaker explained what he found: “They came to plunder, but all in all they took only two vacuums.They must have been upset that there was nothing else to take. They vandalized the walls, tables and clocks and the floor. They ransacked all the drawers where Talesim are kept, they threw the holy books on the floor. I am 73 years old and I cried like a kid. Because when you see your place of worship like that, it hurts.”
