The Jewish Federation of Detroit says that Jewish community lockdowns have been lifted following an attack on a local synagogue.
“We have received word that while there is still a large security presence at Temple Israel, all other Jewish organizations are no longer required to be in lockdown or lockout protocol,” the federation says in a statement.
“There will continue to be a strong police and security presence throughout the community. We ask community members to refrain from speculation or sharing unconfirmed information — especially on social media,” the statement says.
