    An Upper East Side synagogue received a letter Sept. 1 that warned of a detonation on Rosh Hashanah. Mark Heutlinger, the administrator for Temple Emanu-El, on 1 E. 65th St., reported the letter to the NYPD, according to police. The letter, according to the police report, was addressed to Rabbi David M. Posner and said that the â??beloved place of worship Temple Eman-El will be detonated on Rosh Hashanah, September 9. Missionaries of Charity, a society founded by Mother Teresa that has a Bronx branch, signed the letter with the salutation â??Sincerely. The letter stated that â??Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly know me. Please come as soon as you can. Calls to Heutlinger and Posner were not immediately returned.
