Was it a random act of violence or a hate crime? Perhaps we'll never know, but a go fund me page set up to repair damages, and improve security for Congregation Beth Israel, the city's Jewish synagogue has exceeded it's fundraising goal. The Congregation recently suffered 3 acts of vandalism damaging it's plate glass windows.
Isolated incidents, especially, in small or medium sized rural towns can put a black eye on it's reputation, but a diverse group of donors. probably the majority from outside the town's Jewish community has shown that there will be no tolerance for property destruction on it's institutions.

This is awful. No community is immune from hate and bigotry. I am so sorry to hear about this.
