I second that it was in Halle and not in Berlin.
However, the week before, on Friday evening, someone tried to gain access to the Synagogue in Oranierburger Str. here in Berlin, wielding a knife (Source (translated to English from German)). He first was left to go home, then later transferred to a psychiatric clinic.
I do hope that our politicians will take this seriously and start implementing necessary steps. So far, not all synagogues have police protection, it depends on how prominent and well known they are. Most have private security, but not all.
I hope that all future services, no matter where (and of what religion, for that matter) can be conducted in peace, even if that means additional protection.
