BROOKLYN, NY — For the second time in less than a week, a packed Brooklyn, New York, synagogue has been the target of threats of violence by intruders.
On Monday, according to Yeshiva World News, an Arab man in his mid-30s entered Boro Park's 'Sephardish Shul' and began making proclamations of jihad. Members of a Jewish volunteer security organization, the Shomrim, apprehended the threatening individual. They held him until police officers arrived at the scene, arresting the suspect. Detectives spoke with the “Middle Eastern man” at a station house near the synagogue.

Today is Purim, a day we are all merry and are celebrating our holiday. We drive around in our cars loaded with our families and goodies to distribute around the neighborhood; one of the days Mitzvot. We stop for a moment run into someone house to drop off one Shalach Manot and the greatness and jolliness of the day comes to a screeching halt. It gets spoiled with a $115 double parking violation.
The NYPD has been extremely over zealous with issuing parking summonses and bike summonses. In the past they targeted Jews in the most vicious manner on one of the happiest of holidays.
Don’t become a victim.
