[CBI] Security incident at Ner Tamid in Bloomfield

[CBI main mailing list]

Dear congregants,

Earlier today an unknown individual wearing a ski mask ignited and threw 
a “Molotov cocktail” at the front door of Temple Ner Tamid in 
Bloomfield. Fortunately, the device did not work as intended and as 
such, the damage was limited. See theannouncement 
<https://mailchi.mp/jfedgmw/gmw-incident?e=e23fd27801> from Greater 
MetroWest Federation.

At CBI, we were in touch with the Millburn Police as soon as we became 
aware of the situation. They assigned an officer to our parking lot who 
will remain there throughout the rest of the day until midnight and 
continuing until 7am tomorrow morning. An officer and police vehicle 
will be visible from all angles in our parking lot at all times. The 
officers have been given Steven Rod’s cell phone number should there be 
a need to communicate anything to us, and they have a key card should 
they need access to the building.

We want to emphasize that there is no indication of any immediate threat 
to CBI, but in an abundance of caution, we are working with Millburn 
police, along with our regular security provider, to have additional 
security on site.

As with other recent threats to the Jewish Community, we are grateful 
for the support, cooperation, and responsiveness of the Millburn Police. 
They continue to be excellent partners in helping us keep the CBI 
community safe.

Stay tuned for an announcement of additional steps we we are taking to 
further upgrade oursecurity at CBI.
