One of the two explosives-packed parcels recently intercepted was likely bound for Or Chadash, a Chicago-based Jewish congregation that’s known for its openness to the LGBT community, CNN’s Belief Blog reports.
… in an interview with CNN Saturday, Emanuel Congregation’s senior rabbi, Michael Zedek, said he had been notified that Or Chadash was a threat from a Chicago Jewish source “who’s well connected to authorities.”
Zedek said he heard from the source – who he said requested anonymity – on Friday night.
“People are asking are we frightened,” Zedek told CNN, “and the truth of the matter is we’re not frightened, we’re saddened.”
