The Jewish community faces unique security challenges and its facilities have been targets of antisemitic crimes. In order to ensure that these facilities continue to remain places of peace and comfort to members of our community, each facility must own and take charge of its security.

Increasing awareness and training of the people who work, visit or are present in your facility on a regular basis – whether staff, faculty, clergy, parents, students or members – is one of the single-most effective ways to enhance the safety and security of your institution.

This guidance is intended to outline security measures that are little to no cost and can assist facilities in increasing their overall security.
