The main synagogue at Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn, NY, was evacuated on Tuesday night because of a bomb threat.
Detectives of the New York Police Department have swarmed 770 Eastern Parkway after a phone call said that an explosive device was placed in the known building.
“We trace(d) the phone call back to a psych ward but we’re still taking all precautions,” a source in the NYPD told COLlive.com.
Volunteers from the Shmira and Shomrim patrols have assisted in the sweep of the large synagogue and its many rooms.
Chanina Sperlin, the community activist who was there as a NYPD Clergy Liaison, updated that no bomb or harmful objects were found and that 770 is now reopened again.
Hours earlier, the NYPD and counter-terrorism experts held a security briefing with directors of Jewish schools and organization in Crown Heights to discuss potential terror scenarios and measures in place to prevent them.
We need guard dogs in churches ,synagogues and yeshivas and catholic schools twenty four hours a day

Only a few hours before, 770 was filled with senior citizens for the Chanukah Hakhel program. BH it didn’t happen at that time.
never seen 770 empty like that in my whole life
wish it wasnt for that tho
It’s so cool to actually see 770 looking so BRIGHT, CLEAN & EMPTY!!!!
By the way, it’s the people that don’t threaten that you really need to worry about.
Rumor is that the address to the Psych ward was 770 Eastern Parkway
BH that was nothing
Call traced from the psych ward?
I never thought I’d see the day when 770 would be empty for such a horrendous thing, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WE NEED MOSHIACH NOW!!
