Vandalized & Water Pipes Bursting

The building was vandalized over 7 times. One time Rabbi Prussman caught the juveniles who broke in and reported it to the police department. The young Jewish Russian student who came frequently to the organization recognized one of the juveniles as a kid in his neighborhood. Rabbi Prussman had reported the incident to the local police officers in the community. The Jewish Russian kid had his nose broken and his teeth messed up following the day after the local police were informed. The Jewish Russian kid was told by the juveniles that he should keep quiet and his broken nose and teeth should be somewhat a lesson and to keep... quiet. Rabbi Prussman had to pay out of pocket to care for this young boy. The police officers were told of this event and they all kept quiet as well!

The organization also had its' share of pipes braking and water problems in the basement. The organization would store alot of it's equipment in the basement due to a lack of space for events and so forth. They also lost a lot when it came to such catastrophes.
