“Do as I say and no one will get hurt.

“PS: I repeat, if you try to contact the police i will known [sic].”

The message was received at approximately 6:30 p.m. Sunday evening, prompting an evacuation of the yeshiva. Police were called to the yeshiva and inspected the building for any possible bombs.
