FBI Director Christopher Wray spoke about the threats during a meeting with Secure Community Network, a Jewish community nonprofit safety and training organization.
The FBI says it's on alert for threats to Jewish places of worship nationwide, as millions of Jewish Long Islanders prepare for Passover on Monday.
In spite of the threats, Rabbi Joshua Dorsch, of the Merrick Jewish Center, says this Passover will serve as a message of hope and resilience. Hassan Ahmed, of the Suffolk County district attorney’s Anti-Bias Council, says a threat to one religion is a threat to all. Nassau and Suffolk police both confirmed to News 12 each agency will step up patrols of Jewish places of worship ahead of Passover.
