Just got this note from my synagogue. The FBI is telling all synagogues in New Jersey that there is a credible threat against us.
Friends and family are telling each other not to go to shul tomorrow for Shabbat.
This is terrorism.
I went to shul on last weekend, and noticed that we have multiple security guards stationed at main doorways, which are now always locked.
Praying or self-reflection should not be a fearful place. But in America, it is.
Shuls in my area are now closing for at least the next 24 hours, which means for many members, celebrating Shabbat will be at home and not in the sanctuary.
Shabbat Shalom.
The township police department just put this up on Ring. There will be “increased patrols around synagogues.” But also “we ask that you please remain calm.”

Outgoing Senate Majority Leader believes the outgoing President of the United States committed impeachable offenses. nytimes.com/2021/01/12/us/…
McConnell served conservatives admirably, rubber stamping their policies and judicial picks for the last 4 years, after 8 years of serving as an obstructionist. There is a week left in Trump's administration. This is politics, not bravery.
Of course, it could also just be vapor. Politicians like McConnell often say one thing and do another. Let's see what his actions do.
