NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police are looking into an email threat sent to several local Jewish organizations.

They say they cleared the building of a synagogue that received the bomb threat. There were no services going on at the time.

"The Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville" says it also received a threat this morning and immediately notified police and local and statewide Jewish organizational leadership.

Officials said they are grateful for the support and professionalism of law enforcement partners.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
