More than 50 synagogues in Florida received bomb threats last week, resulting in sweeps of the buildings and evacuations. State officials are investigating the matter. Governor DeSantis said in a statement that "“We allocated tens of millions to combat rising anti-Semitism,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said. “If anyone attempts to bring it here, they’ll face significant resistance.”

Some areas where synagogues were threatened include Coral Gables, Broward County and Palm Beach, according to local reports.

Sharon Israel Moskowitz, the executive director of Temple Judea in Coral Gables released a statement, reassuring that everyone was safe.

"I think it's gonna get traumatically worse," Republican candidate for Florida's 25th congressional district, Bryan Leib, told Just the News in a phone interview. "I think a lot of these pro-Hamas supporters wanted to see how far they can get on the college campuses and see how far they can push.”

"It's open season for Jews," he continued. "That's how we feel at least."

Authorities in Palm Beach, Florida arrested a suspect who threatened to shoot up a synagogue in the area after he made antisemitic threats on social media.

Paul Morris, 26, wrote messages on Discord and Instagram and said he was going to shoot up a synagogue, but didn't list a specific one. He was reported by the director of security for the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach TV reports.

The identity of who made threats to the other synagogues is still being investigated.

FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh wants to “fix” the behavior of her department’s predominately male workforce — but can’t figure out how to extinguish their flames of discontent.

Kavanagh — who’s butted heads with plenty of male underlings since being named the city’s first female fire commissioner in 2022 — made the blunt admission while apologizing to New York Attorney General Letitia James during a March 8 text exchange, a day after pro-Donald Trump firefighters and other attendees mercilessly booed the Democratic pol during a department promotion ceremony.

“I should have called you last night, but I’ve been trying to find a way to say I’m sorry that doesn’t involve me apologizing for men who don’t deserve such grace,” texted Kavanagh, according to records The Post obtained from the AG’s office through a Freedom of Information Law request.

“I haven’t succeeded. I am sorry that we didn’t stop them and that I can’t fix them.”

Kavanagh, who began her career in public service working campaigns for ex-President Barack Obama and other Democrats, told her longtime political ally, “I wouldn’t be here without you.”

The fire commissioner also thanked James for teaching her firsthand that handling “bullying, threats and lots of booing with grace would be part of the gig if you ever wanted to make big change.”

“So thank you for that. I care about you and will do anything for you, always,” she added.

James thanked Kavanagh for the kind words but refused to admit ever being booed during her 20 years holding elected offices, which include stints as NYC’s public advocate and a Brooklyn councilwoman.

“The guys who were there are new to the dept and don’t know my history as it relates to fdny,” James texted. “We have work to do and I am willing to put in the time. BTW – this is my first time that I have been booed.”

During a May 10 text exchange with another FDNY staffer whose name was redacted, James expressed regrets about agreeing to speak at the ceremony, held three days earlier at Christian Cultural Center’s Brooklyn Campus in Starrett City.

“I am so sorry [the] episode took away from people being promoted and their families …” James said. “I should have taken temperature, checked with [the] department and stayed away. I have to repair relationships with members.”

James initially planned to hold a Bible while her friend, The Rev. Pamela Holmes, was sworn in as the department’s second female chaplain, and the first Black woman to hold that title.

However, Kavanagh texted the attorney general two days before the ceremony and convinced her to also be a guest speaker.

James was greeted by loud jeers while walking to the podium during the event. As she continued her speech, the booing swiftly turned to chants in support of Trump.
