One of the buildings on the Livingston Manor property was severely damaged in a fire on Jan. 28 and had been painted with swastikas, New York State Police spokesman Beau Duffy confirmed to HuffPost. Because of the discovery of swastikas, state police are now “investigating whether the cause of the fire and the swastikas are somehow linked,” Duffy said. The school, Yeshiva Yoreh Deah, is affiliated with Congregation Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim, the Journal News reports. Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. Rabbi Aron Lankry speaks about the Yeshiva Yoreh Deah in the video below.
