Synagogue Threats Break Into Yom Kippur in Canada and Pittsburgh

Archive reconstruction: Prepared after the edition date from dated reporting; this briefing was not published that morning.

Worshippers at Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville were gathered for Yom Kippur when gunfire struck the building. The congregation president described it as a hate crime; police had not established a motive in the reporting available for this edition.

A separate Pennsylvania case involves an alleged ISIS-inspired plot, including discussion of synagogue attacks. Elsewhere, an Irish sports-boycott campaign faces governing-body resistance, and a small NYU protest is focusing on a House-passed anti-boycott bill.
