Code Red,?

With anticipation of violence and Riots in synagogues across the greater Sephardic community area for the SimchatTorah celebrations Thursday Shuls have gone on high alert by hiring thousands of extra security personal both uniformed and undercover to deal with and violence and candy bag scofflaws. The NYPD has also been alerted as well as some elements of the Natl Guard can be called up to quell potential violence. A Spokesman for one of the synagogues said "We have devised several systems and back up systems to prepare for every scenario, we have several crowd dispersal methods and have stocked up on anti- riot non lethal equipment, and further more despite the recession we have approx 100-150  extra bags". A moment of silence will be held for all the victims of the past Simchat Torah Wars, The Rabbi profoundly in King David Eulogizing Saul Fashion said of the martyrs " Ha Tzvi Ysrael al Bamotech Chalal Ech Nafloo Geborim "....(Your glory, O Israel, lies slain upon your high places! How the mighty have fallen). There shouldn't be any rush to judgement as to whom the main perpetrators to the violence as in the past the Shammis (Damascus) have been unjustifiably singled out. My Simchat Torah Suggestion  is to eliminate the candy  and give out Celery sticks, carrots and apples instead.  It would not only cut costs, But it's healthy and would reduce traffic and violence by at least 80%.................
