A 34-year-old man has been charged over the firebombing of a synagogue that’s sent shock waves through Australia’s Jewish community.

Twenty congregants were forced to flee the synagogue in East Melbourne on Friday night after a bearded man doused the building’s front door with flammable liquid before setting it alight.
