A New Jersey man was charged yesterday with attempted murder and hate crimes in connection with recent firebombings of two northern New Jersey synagogues.

Anthony Graziano, 19, of Lodi, was charged with the Jan. 11 attack on a Rutherford synagogue and rabbi’s home and the Jan. 3 firebombing of a synagogue in Paramus.

The crimes “were a direct result of Mr. Graziano’s hatred of people of the Jewish faith,” Bergen County prosecutor John Molinelli said yesterday.
