St. Petersburg, FL – Congregation B’nai Israel in St Petersburg, Florida received fake bomb threats last weekend.
B’nai Israel, a Conservative congregation, received the threat as congregants were exiting the Selichot services on Saturday, September 9.
B’nai Israel’s rabbi, Philip Weintraub, said of the incident: “It was not disruptive to our worship.” He told JTA that the police “took it very seriously.”
