Beth Israel in Meridian, Mississippi.   The rabbi was Milton Schlager.  On May 28, 1968 fifteen sticks of dynamite were planted by Thomas Tarrants and Danny Joe Hawkins, members of the Ku Klux Klan. The blast knocked down walls and caved in the roof. Tarrants was eventually arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison (for a series of crimes). He only served eight years before he was released, after which he became a born again Christian and as of 1992 was training missionaries in North Carolina.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/30495/file/98459#t=4530.0,4560.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/30495/file/98459/annotation_set/192/annotation/219","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eThe Temple on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia was bombed in the early morning hours of October 12, 1958.  About 50 sticks of dynamite were planted near the building and tore a huge hole in the wall.

Bassanio’s investments fail, Shylock demands his pound of flesh—literally.  He wants revenge on Antonio, in part, because his daughter has eloped from his house with Antonio’s friend Lorenzo and
