Melbourne, Australia, synagogue set ablaze, forcing congregants to flee

JL;DR SUMMARY A haredi Orthodox synagogue in Ripponlea, a Melbourne suburb, was set on fire by assailants who reportedly threw firebombs and flammable liquid into the building during morning prayers.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
