Wisconsin JCC also evacuated after bomb threat

A Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, was evacuated following a bomb threat, hours after a similar incident in New York.

On Facebook, the JCC writes that it received a threatening email and was forced to shut down temporarily, presumably until the building could be searched.

The Harry & Rose Samson Family JCC says it will reopen at 9 a.m., local time.

“We welcome all members and guests at that time, and apologize for the inconvenience,” the center writes.
