The vandalism appears as Government statistics this week revealed a rise in all forms of hate crime in England and Wales over the past eight years, with racially-motivated crimes seeing by far the biggest increase.
Two years ago this week, anti-Semitic graffiti was sprawled outside the Etz Chaim synagogue in North Leeds.
The graffiti has been reported to West Yorkshire Police and Metro.
Anyone with information should contact West Yorkshire Police on 101 referencing log number 243.
