The bomb threat is the latest to hit a Jewish community center, after nearly 50 similar bomb threats were called in to centers around the country in a series of waves last month. However, the incident appears to be isolated for the time being.
The Whitefish Bay center was evacuated as well on January 31, during one of those waves.
