CBSN
The Temple Sinai in Atlanta sent an email this week to invite its congregants back to in-person Shabbat services – they'd been virtual for weeks because of COVID-19.
But leaders had a more pressing issue to address, just days after four Jewish congregants were held hostage at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue outside of Dallas-Fort Worth.
"We recognize that the current trends concerning COVID-19 are but one of the sources of concern on people's minds at present," the email said.
