New York, NY, November 19, 2022.. CSI, CSS, ADL and SCN have been in contact with federal and local law enforcement agencies over the past 24 hours regarding a specific threat to the New York-area Jewish community. The threat was mitigated late last night, and two suspects were apprehended. We are thankful for the work of the NYPD, FBI, Joint Terrorism Task Force and MTA Police.  This comes at a time of heightened sensitivity in the New York-area Jewish community after an 18-year-old man was charged with sending threats to the Jewish community in New Jersey just two weeks earlier. As always, we ask the community to remain vigilant, but no further immediate community actions are needed at this time.”
