(Jewish Group) ATTN TEXAS JEWS: Online Threat Targets Texas Synagogue

[Behind the Aegis]

Online Threat Targets Texas Synagogue

Earlier today, ADL and our partners at SCN were made aware by federal law enforcement of an anonymous and unconfirmed online threat of an individual potentially intending to carry out an attack on an unidentified synagogue in Texas. The credibility of the potential threat and identity of the subject are unknown at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, we encourage community organizations to remain vigilant and report any suspicious persons and/or activity to local law enforcement immediately.

ADL will continue to work with our local, state, and federal law enforcement as well as community security partners to determine the credibility of this threat, and provide relevant updates, as necessary.

Report Suspicious Activity

Follow established protocols to report suspicious activity – to include contacting local law enforcement and/or the relevant suspicious activity reporting authority – and contact the SCN Duty Desk at [e-mail] or by calling 844-SCN-DESK. We also ask that you report suspicious or hate-related activity to ADL at www.adl.org/reportincident.

I just (a minute ago) got this alert from the regional ADL chapter.

1. I'm sorry so many of my fellow humans are such scum...

2. I have family in Texas

My oldest cousin, 16 years my senior, has 3 grown children, all married, 9 grandchildren, 7 of whom still attend Hebrew schools in Dallas. One of her son in law's is a Chabad rabbi where her husband attends, and the other 2 kids attend different synagogues (one reform, one conservative). I will check in with her to make sure they are all aware.

Thanks for sharing this.

3. Thank you for the warning

My temple has several members of ADL on the board and so I am sure that my temple is aware of this threat
