Chabad Center Evacuated Friday Night in Miami Beach After Bomb Threat
The Miami Beach building of the Lubavitch Educational Center was evacuated Friday night after an envelope with a bomb threat was found in front of the building.
Police announced the closure of the street and evacuated the building around 7:40pm Friday night, telling WSVN that a rabbi flagged down an officer after finding the letter indicating a bomb threat and the words “safe house” on the other side.
The school building also hosts the Beit Chabad of South Beach and is used as a Shul over Shabbos.
The threat was taken seriously by Miami Beach Police who used K-9s to sweep the building before declaring it safe and allowing the community members to re-enter the building.
