    The event was held at the gym of Felician College in the wake of four bias crimes committed against Jewish synagogues in Bergen County, including one early Wednesday when a Molotov cocktail was tossed into the second-floor window of the Congregation Beth El synagogue on Montross Avenue in Rutherford.

    I would hope in light of the seriousness of these attacks that the local authorities have requested help from the FBI. It is nice to see how decent people of any faith have come together to condemn these horrible crimes.
