As Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur quickly approach, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is reaching out to synagogues and Jewish communal institutions across the U.S. to provide information on security preparedness, in an effort to remind them to make security a priority.
“As we do every year, we are urging Jewish institutions to take stock of their security in advance of the holidays to make sure they have the proper procedures in place to help ensure the safety of congregants during the High Holy Days and every day,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “Simple steps such as developing a relationship with local law enforcement can go a long way toward ensuring that security risks are mitigated. Jewish institutions should always ‘think security’ 365 days a year, and the High Holidays are a good time to reinforce this and to remind people of how important it is to make security a priority.”
Working through its network of 30 regional offices across the country, ADL has shared its security manual, “Protecting Your Jewish Institution: Security Strategies for Today’s Dangerous World,” with hundreds of synagogues and communal institutions nationwide. The manual is regularly updated to provide new information and best practices for ensuring the security of religious and communal institutions.
