The Gates is a 19th-century synagogue, one of the oldest such buildings in the US, lovingly preserved and moved from its original site to James Madison Park. It’s one of the most deeply beautiful things about Madison on so many levels. What a vile and heartbreaking sight.
One of their stops included Gates of Heaven, a synagogue on Gorham.

Contrast: In November 2023, a group of Nazis marched on campus/through downtown Madison, pointedly stopping at a historic synagogue. City and campus police did little about it and shrugged it off as a simple free-speech issue with a side of "well obviously we condemn..."
An email sent from UW-Madison regarding protest policies informs students, faculty, and staff: "Failing to abide by these limitations can and will have consequences, both within our code of student conduct and more broadly under Wisconsin law."
