Later, the group hit a man with an egg.
He then threw eggs at Congregation Bnei Torah Sanz between the neighborhoods of Flatbush and Borough Park as worshippers were leaving.
There were no injuries in the incidents, according to police.
The incidents exemplify the spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes in Brooklyn in recent months.
