NORTHAMPTON — Just days after an art installation/memorial was unveiled in support of the Beit Ahavah synagogue, following a bomb threat the Florence synagogue received last month, the congregation received a second bomb threat this past Sunday.

According to Massachusetts State Police, bomb squads were dispatched after an email making multiple bomb threats to Jewish synagogues and affiliated centers across Massachusetts was sent out on Sunday, Dec. 17. The threats appear to have been sent from the same email address, police said.

In addition to Beit Ahavah, bomb squads responded to three synagogues and a Jewish community center in Framingham and a Jewish cultural center in Tisbury. No explosives or hazards were located at any of sites, state police said.

Beit Ahavah, which shares space with the Florence Congregational Church (FCC) at the Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity, had received a similar threat on Nov. 19, which also proved to be unfounded. The center at that time was hosting a concert by the Fiddle Orchestra of Western MA, which was shut down as people were evacuated and the bomb squad entered the building.

Once the building was cleared, people were allowed to reenter and gather their things.

On Dec. 10, an art installation, consisting of over 150 colored ribbons decorated with messages of peace and love, was unveiled at Beit Ahavah during the synagogue’s Hanukkah celebration.

Contributing to the installation, which was devised by Marisa Egerstrom, pastor of the FCC, were dozens and dozens of people from the community, as well as some Bombyx Center concertgoers, who wanted to express their support for Beit Ahavah after the Nov. 19 bomb threat.

“It’s so moving,” Rabbi Riqi Kosovske said last week about the installation. “It’s probably the nicest Hanukkah gift I’ve ever received.”

Following this past weekend’s second bomb threat at the synagogue, the State Police Hate Crime Awareness and Response Team, a unit that was established several weeks ago, will communicate with religious leaders about follow-up concerns they may have related to the threats.
