>Third shul in Bergen County attacked
Arson incident sparks calls for action
Larry Yudelson • Local
A third attack on a Bergen County synagogue within a month is leading the Anti-Defamation League to call on area synagogues to implement security plans and install security cameras.
On Tuesday morning, worshipers at K’hal Adath Jeshurun in Paramus smelled fumes and discovered that the back wall of their synagogue had been charred by a fire, in what the Bergen County prosecutor’s office and Paramus police have ruled to be arson.
“We’ll probably have more surveillance cameras installed,” said Rabbi Chaim Shapiro, spiritual leader of the 25-family synagogue. The attack, however, “will have absolutely no impact on the programs or activities of the shul,” he said.
