Security Alert for synagogues

Security Alert
for synagogues, schools and Jewish organizations

These times demand that increased vigilance and security measures must be put into place. We urge all synagogue, school and community leaders to meet with local law enforcement agencies in order to coordinate the security needs and procedures of your facility.

As a first step, the Orthodox Union recently held a very successful One Day Security Seminar. Presented by a team of experts who are specialists in synagogue and school security, it covered such topics as: anti-Semitic incidents; break-ins; suspicious letters and/or packages; suspicious vehicles/objects; bomb threats; damage and desecration; hate mail; strangers in our synagogues/schools; physical and verbal attacks.

A video tape of this presentation is available for purchase by recognized communal institutions only. Applications must be on your letterhead and accompanied by payment of $50, including shipping ($25 for OU member synagogues). Mail to: Security Seminar, Department of Community and Synagogue Services, Orthodox Union, Eleven Broadway, New York, NY 10004.

May God protect us in the shadow of His wings
