Etzion Neuer with the New Jersey Office of the Anti-Defamation League says he hopes the bomb threats at two Long Branch synagogues and one in Deal Tuesday are an isolated incident but local synagogues have been encouraged already to review their security procedures.
The Synagogue of Deal received a bomb threat. One of its rabbis is the father of Solomon Dwek, who was allegedly the cooperating witness in the corruption and money laundering investigation that resulted in 44 arrests last month including three mayors, two state lawmakers and five rabbis. A second rabbi at the temple is Rabbi Edmond Nahum who was arrested last month.
Neuer says he has not seen an overall spike in anti-Semitic incidents because of the recent arrests.
