    The Boston Globe reports (http://bit.ly/1Bh7Jdr ) Friday’s interfaith service drew a large crowd at Pride of Lynn Cemetery in Lynn, site of the Holocaust memorial.

    Five chunks of raw pork were found at the memorial’s base Tuesday. Jewish dietary laws prohibit eating pork.

    Police say they’re investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. They say they’re pursuing a new lead after a cemetery worker found what appears to be a supermarket wrapper in which the pork may have been carried.

    Chabad Lubavitch of the North Shore Rabbi Yossi Lipsker says people at the rally stand united against all forms of evil.
