(Scroll down for video) A Florida woman is shocked after she received a note on her door telling her to move to Israel.
Gerry Franciosa is disgusted by the note someone sent to his wife on Tuesday. The sender wished to remain anonymous.
"For me this is a person without a backbone, a coward. My wife feels threatened by this," Franciosa said.
The post-it note reads: "Very comical. It is what you are. Go to Israel."
The note was in response to a letter to the editor that Mrs. Franciosa wrote in the local newspaper. She expressed disappointment at the public menorah lighting ceremony on Wednesday. She noted that it did not comply with Jewish tradition.
"There were a lot of things missing. It was a very quick ceremony, they lit the candles and everyone left," Franciosa complained.
City Commissioner Adam Frankel, who is Jewish, agrees that the ceremony was mishandled.
"There is no doubt that this was a disservice to our families and children in the local Jewish community of Delray Beach," Frankel said.
"When you're in the U.S., in a diverse community like Delray Beach, you do not expect such a note," Franciosa said.
