Dear Friends of the Boulder JCC,

News media is reporting that Israeli police have arrested a suspect in connection with many of the bomb threats made to JCCs and other Jewish Institutions around the world. According to these reports, this individual is a 19-year-old man with dual Israeli and U.S. citizenship.

We are grateful for the collaborative and tireless efforts of local, federal, and international law enforcement who have continued to work on this matter, which has culminated in an arrest.

Due to the high-profile nature of this issue, we anticipate continued interest from news media. If we are approached by news media, we have a designated Boulder JCC Spokesperson, and we encourage you to refer any questions from the media to our spokesperson.

We will remain vigilant and aware of the potential for ongoing incidents. As always, your safety and security is our highest priority.

We will share more information with you as we receive additional information. We welcome any conversations with you.


The JCC Association of North America has issued a press release about this matter, which you can read hereThe support from the Boulder and broader community has been overwhelming and has truly helped us through this time.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Lev,  Executive Director
Paula Pollachek,  Board President
