The Community Security Service conducts a briefing before providing security to the Jewish community.Jewish communities across the country are ramping up security in response to growing antisemitic sentiments following Hamas' attack on Israel on Saturday.
On Saturday morning, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel from the sea, air and ground. The militant group launched rockets into Israel, went door to door and shot citizens at point-blank range, threw grenades into bomb shelters, raped women, beheaded select citizens, executed children in front of their parents and took hostages back into Gaza - making Saturday the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.According to the website, CSS is the leading Jewish volunteer organization in the U.S.
A protestor in Times Square shows a swastika on his mobile phone to pro-Israel supporters during a demonstration in New York City, Oct. 8, 2023."Over the coming weeks, I think it's allowing for people to express their antisemitic rhetoric and belief and really put a lot of that stuff online, and people that are on the fringes are reading these things. A lot of times people are fishing just for one lone wolf, to do something," Bernstein said.
The Shul also has hundreds of cameras and they do everything they can to be "as careful as possible not to be careless," Lipskar said. "We want to make sure that every community across North America feels secure, so that people can enjoy and engage in Jewish life," said board chair of the Jewish Federations of North America, Julie Platt.
