Residents of Modi’in Illit are angered over the vandalism attack against the Chabad House in the Brachfeld area of the community on erev shabbos, an attack that targeted seforim on location.
The attack occurred close to midnight according to a Kikar Shabbat report, with the vandals tossing seforim on the floor, including a shas. Police are investigating.

First I’ve heard of Chabad House in Brachfeld. As far as I know, there are no Chabadniks in Modiin Elite at all. Certainly, there is no need for a Chabad House
If I am not mistaken, Chabad has been in Brachfeld running a library of chasidisher seforim and holding shiurim, for a few years now.
To Shalom in Israel:
I wanted to let you know how honored i feel to be on the same blog as someone as choshuv as yourself.
Imagine, a Godol HaDor commenting on YWN!
(I assume that you must be a Godol HaDor, because who else would take it upon himself to judge, after someone apparently set up a Chabad library or shul somewhere, that there was “certainly no need for it.”)
there most definitely is a chabad house in brachfeld for several years now. there is an otzar of seforim there, and shiurim and farbrengens are held there. there are several lubavitchers in brachfeld; and there are many others who take part in the affairs there…
