Jewish cemeteries in Pennsylvania and Missouri have been hit by vandalism in recent weeks, but it’s unclear if the attacks are the work of a few individuals or part of a larger problem.

There were more bomb threats leading to more evacuations today at Jewish schools and community centers and at least a dozen states. Jewish leaders have a term for these phone calls – telephone terrorism. And over the weekend, a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia was vandalized. NPR’s Tom Gjelten reports on this surge in anti-Semitic attacks.
