One person was injured in a fire set by arsonists at the Torat Haim Yesivah school in an eastern Moscow suburb as the Passover Seder was beginning Friday night. Olga Esaulova, a spokeswoman for Moscow’s chief rabbi, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the fire was set in a storage area for kosher meat and that swastikas were drawn at the yeshiva’s entrance. There were about 60 students, rabbis and guests in the building at the time, the state news agency RIA-Novosti reported. The Russian police have launched an investigation.
