Tallahassee, FL – A synagogue in Tallahassee, Florida, has
increased security after receiving three anonymous letters filled with
antisemitic rhetoric.
Shomrei Torah, a 100-family Conservative synagogue, has put in
surveillance cameras and requested increased police patrols.
Synagogue President David Abrams told the newspaper that there were no
direct threats against the congregation, but that the letters referenced
several Jewish conspiracy theories.
“The person who wrote these
pages may indeed be disturbed,” Abrams told the newspaper. “But the three
letters were hand-delivered, two uncanceled stamps on each envelope. That
means the person who put them in our mailbox had to have been on our premises.
Some families have been concerned about dropping their children off for study
at the synagogue.”
The letters were delivered after the presidential election in November,
as well as in September and October, according to the newspaper.
