The Jewish Children’s Museum was evacuated on Thursday morning after a threat to the facility was received.
Sources tell YWN that the threat came via email.
The wording or the type of threat was unknown.
A decision was made at around 9:30AM to evacuate the building , which is located at 792 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. It is across the street from Chabad World Headquarters – 770 Eastern Parkway.
“770” was not affected by the evacuation.
The NYPD have called for a Level 1 Mobilization response. The Bomb Squad is on the scene.

Yet the police are letting pedestrians walk freely – cones in the street, Chassidim crossing Eastern Parkway. WHY?
Because everyone knows it’s a prank, like all the others.
They observe how we evacuate. Then they can make a threat and get us as we evacuate the building.
My son was up there and sent me a picture of cars still driving nearby. I really don’t get the police and security teams, they couldn’t organize a beer festival in a brewery. B”H it wasn’t a real threat.
