MIAMI (CBSMiami) – South Florida’s Jewish community is on edge over the odd behavior of two women.
“These two people came into one of the temples in the community. One, if not two, walked inside the temple,” said Yona Lunger of the two Middle Eastern women in question.
A police report shows two women pulled up in silver Nissan Altima to Beth Israel at 770 W 40th St.
The driver remained silent while the passenger was standing just outside the car.
The woman that was standing outside the car asked, “Did you have services already?”
The people they engaged replied, “Yes.”
Then the woman asked, “When are you saying Yizkor?”
The men found the question unusual because Yizkor is a prayer that is only used a few times a year such as Yom Kippur.
They replied, “We only use it a few times a year.”
The woman then asked, “Do you also get together during the week?”
They replied, “Yes, in the evenings.”
The man questioned didn’t think anything of the whole incident until the following evening when his mother told him about a similar incident occurred.
Lunger, who is involved with the independent security agency that patrols the heavily Jewish neighborhoods of North Miami Beach, is very concerned about the women’s actions.
A picture of what appears to be two Middle Eastern women who walked into several temples and engaged with temple members has circulated in community websites and newspapers.
“Showing the Koran, asking certain questions that raised concerns, enough to alert the police department,” said Lunger.
A similar incident occurred in Miami Beach.
Again, two women pulled up in a car and asked similar questions about meeting times and services.
The police department issued a statement on the issue:
“North Miami Beach Police are in receipt of a suspicious incident at a temple in North Miami Beach. We ae working with multiple agencies to identify the people involved.”
Lunger said it has set off alarms.
“Yeah, especially with what is going on in the Middle East, worldwide, international, London, France, Paris, everywhere,” he said.
people should have not let them leave before the police arrived
Any reason they wouldn’t have infiltrators, like the Mumbai murderers, from playing along like they are one of us, and getting all the information they want, much more than these women. In Miami, I remember a Japanese woman who was converting, so she sat in the Shul, observing the Minyanim.
Really people are you SO in denial that you think it’s just some Muslim innocently looking in. For Gds sake Wale up. Why is there this denial. And shy do you not have guards. I think u are hiding from your fears but we have to face the truth. These people want our deaths. They are not like us they are killers. With all the learning you still don’t get it. Wake up wake up wake up
C Simcha
Never again????????
Why did the guy give vital information.
How stupid
Common sense prevails!
In our days, in our times no one should be giving out any source of information to passerbys… Certainly not those holding a koran or dressed in “the garb”!
Children too, just like they are taught the fire and intruder drill, need to be taught to ward off a stranger by and the likes of those digging for info from in and around prayer venues or school times.
Keep safe.
its very suspicious that two arab women who are supposedly anti semiotic walk into a temple asking questions about time and events
Is this guy a complete moron or he couldn’t care less? These two beasts can’t be regarded. The police should be keeping them under total surveillance.
why couldnt the guy ask them for what reason they wanted to know this? I bet he was afraid also…maybe they wanted to know about yizkor bc its a prayer for the dead..their whole religion is about death anyway
“No crime was committed whatsoever – these women were just investigating different religions” Do you need a rocket scientist or the FBI to figure out why these Middle-Eastern women are asking if the shul had services already and when is Yizkor (a prayer – that they would have been told brings so many jews together in shul…) and then when the response was that it is only said a few times a year they ask “Do you also GET TOGETHER during the week?” If they wanted to ask innocently about religious practice and the Yizkor prayer wouldn’t they have asked… Read more »
This is clearly NOT a mistake
100% bad intentions,
Their Address?
Sent by ?
Their history?
Affiliations?
When was the last time you saw an unaffiliated Jew walk into a Shul with a koran asking what time are we saying Yizkor? Perhaps if we took our head out of the sand (instead of not reporting suspicious activities – because it’s racism) we would be safer (and smarter).
It is the pathetic veil of politically correctness that is allowing the destruction of the USA.
I don’t get it was there an actual threat or just a scary article
so where do you think the line should be drawn? Be cautious when anyone who looks a certain skin color or religion is within your vicinity? Disallow them to enter? Assume everyone is innocent until proven guilty?
Don’t bet on that, he’s a hot-air balloon. He will probably not do a thing of what he says, he only says that to get voted in.
May Hashem protect us all!
I was at Empire Kosher
Two arab women and one arab male walked in
They were taking their time next to the vegetables refrigerator.
They carry open bags on their shoulder.
Didn’t seem to bother anyone .
PAY ATTENTION
yidden we have to be careful and overcausious
THE SOONER WE GET TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE THE BETTER
