Sad news from Curbed today: the giant Star of David from the Rivington Street synagogue was stolen last night, and and before the thieves abandoned it, they broke it in half. According to the talmud, that's like 10000 years of bad luck! The people in charge of the temple should probably be charged with criminal architectural neglect, because they were the ones who left the star sitting in front of the construction site for the last two weeks. Does anyone recognize the location (clues include that Borf face and LES-style red door)-- please write in so we can let the authorities know where the can pick up (and presumably repair) the star. [Related: The Villager is reporting that Curbed's sighting of the temple lot for sale online last week was a hoax-- and the rabbi is now saying that they will rebuild a modest sized temple on the site for $2-3m.]
UPDATE: we walked by this afternoon and found the Star-- it's just around the corner from the temple lot, on Ludlow. The crack isn't that big-- hopefully someone from the temple will pick it up soon.

I actually saw that star sitting outside a couple of weeks ago after eating at Thor and thought it would be cool to own, but it weighted like 500 pounds. I can't believe anyone would be surprised it was stolen since it looked like garbage where it was sitting.
any good drinker from the LES would know that the star is sitting right next to the northern window of the bar motor city. the red door way is right next to the small bodega. for the few with a car, ludlow btwn rivington and delancy.
I'm pretty sure it's been there for quite a bit longer than two weeks. I'm not sure I would describe the poor thing as stolen it was treated like trash and often decorated with trash.
My girlfriend just went out to look and says it is still on the ground just north of Motor City, cracked in half but pushed back together, chips of it along the sidewalk indicating where it was rolled.
"The people in charge of the temple should probably be charged with criminal architectural neglect"
you want someone to go to jail for leaving something they own on the sidewalk?
jews are dumb
christians are dumb
the bible is just as fictional as dianetics and it makes a lot more money.
Gary fuck you. Jews and christians are not as dumb as jen.
Looks sort of like a yaweh'd-out manhole cover.
