Dozens of people gathered on the town common in Franklin April 6 to share song and prayer at a vigil in response to two hateful acts of vandalism in town last week, including one that targeted a Jewish temple.
"The acts of vandalism to the temple this week are acts of violence," said Rev. Kathy McAdams of St. John's Episcopal Church. "They are meant to terrorize and silence Jewish people and we cannot stand for that."
