According to the Los Angeles Police Department, five separate kosher establishments were smashed & burglarized in the heavily Jewish Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles on Shabbos morning.
Nagila Pizza, Fisherman’s Bowl, Shanghai Diamond Garden, SushiKo, and Shalom Grill were all smashed in, Mezuzahs ripped off doors R”L, and establishments were burglarized.
More than 500 antisemitic acts targeting Jewish people were committed in California last year, an increase of more than 40% from 2021.
The incident happened between 5 and 6 AM on Saturday morning. LAPD will thoroughly investigate these blatant hate crimes.

🚨 I'm hearing and seeing reports that multiple Jewish (kosher) restaurants in the Pico Robertson area of Los Angeles were smashed and burglarized last night.
It is still Shabbat on the West Coast, and we won't know too much more until sundown when the community is back… pic.twitter.com/AMq2Q4fGn3— Sia Kordestani (@SiaKordestani) August 20, 2023
