What the threats are or when they were made is not known, but Cleveland police, after consulting with the FBI, issued a divisional notice to keep extra attention on at least four Cleveland Jewish institutions.

Included in the warning are the Jewish Community Federation at East 17th Street and Euclid Avenue, West Temple at West 143rd Street and Trisket, the Temple at University Circle and the Cleveland Hillel Foundation at Case.

The local head of the FBI said, "We regularly receive threats and evaluate threat information. As these leads are run to ground, we reach out to community leaders to share information.

"Given the major events unfolding this week, out of an abundance of caution, we have worked with local authorities to increase patrols at some locations."

At least in Telz the bocharim know how to speak and write a correct English. It happens to be the bochurim that are learning there would be the envy of many other yeshivos in hasmada and in middos!

An Attack on one should be considered an attack on ALL. Why is there an attitude coming across that says "Thank G-D its only Cleveland? (and not your city/town)

I think what he said was that he hopes the usage of "Cleveland" is not a buzzword for elsewheres - in other words, they say Cleveland but mean a different Yiddish center. Like they say in Yiddish "m'zugt the shviger un men meint the shniir".
It surely doesn't say that B"H it's Cleveland. So why is everybody attacking him?

Like you, I have no idea what was wrong with post # 1 (asidei from the fact that he forgot to sign off with the obligatory "hashem yerachem"). Some people have some serious anger management issues.
