Security remains a concern at synagogues around New Jersey following Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel over the weekend.

News 12 New Jerseys Tony Caputo spoke with a rabbi in Middlesex County about how he and others are dealing with the news in the Middle East.

Rabbi Eliezer Zaklikovsky of the Chabad Jewish Center in Monroe says what’s happening is “horrifying,” but says he recognizes the miracles.

“The fact that there was no loss of life, no major catastrophic harm is absolutely miraculous. We thank those that participated in defending the state of Israel. It’s just before Passover. Passover represents miracles and freedom,” Zaklikovsky said.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin announced on Saturday that the state is taking precautions.
