Tallahassee synagogue ups security after receiving hate mail
A synagogue in Tallahassee, Florida, has increased security after receiving three anonymous letters filed with anti-Semitic rhetoric.
The 100-family, Conservative synagogue has put in surveillance cameras and requested increased police patrols, the Tallahassee Democrat daily newspaper reports.
Synagogue president David Abrams tells the newspaper that there were no direct threats against the congregation, but that the letters referenced several Jewish conspiracy theories.
