San Francisco will pay a $5,000 reward for information about three pipe bombs aimed at the Jewish community as it observed Rosh Hashanah, Mayor Dianne Feinstein announced. Police checked synagogues and other Jewish buildings after a bomb exploded at the office of the Humanist Party and two other bombs were defused at a temple school near a crowded synagogue and at a rabbi’s home. Officers said all three bombs were attached to anti-Semitic literature, although there is no obvious link between the political party and the Jewish religion. Feinstein said the reward was a renewal of a similar offer made in July after a pipe bomb was found wired to the front door of a synagogue. The American Jewish Congress in San Francisco also offered a $5,000 reward. Feinstein said police would keep a careful watch on Jewish buildings through the High Holy Days, which end Sept. 25 with Yom Kippur.
