A person came in to Congregation Bais Tefila in Valley Village, CA this morning, dropped off a backpack and left the building which is located at Chandler and Whitsett. Anti-Semitic material was found with the backpack. The LAPD was called and they evacuated the shul and neighboring buildings including Valley Torah High School.
The bomb squad is currently en route.
Shacharis minyanim continued outside.
UPDATE 1:07PM ET: The Bomb Squad has given the “all clear”.
