Boosting Safety of Jewish Communities: ADL and the Community Security Service (CSS) have enhanced our partnership
to further strengthen the security and resilience of Jewish communities across the United States. Through the expanded collaboration, CSS volunteers across the country will now benefit from insights and threat intelligence produced by the ADL Center on Extremism. ADL will gain direct insights from CSS’s nationwide network of volunteer security teams. “Protecting the Jewish community requires partnership, information sharing and collective vigilance,” said Oren Segal, ADL SVP of Counter-Extremism and Intelligence.
Do No Harm? Antisemitism in Healthcare: Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern and ADL’s Sara A. Colb wrote a lacerating op-ed
on why “Antisemitism in Healthcare Is a Public Health Crisis — and Must Be Treated as One.’ As they note, Jewish med students have been harassed and even threatened by colleagues, and Jewish patients have had their concerns denied and dismissed. “While healthcare providers pledge to ‘do no harm,’ that oath is being violated as antisemitism seeps into the very spaces meant to embody compassion and healing.” Read the full op-ed.
The Pray Safe Act:
ADL and the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference hosted a webinar titled "Protecting Our Sacred Spaces: The Pray Safe Act" with over 70 pastors and faith leaders. We discussed how this bipartisan, interfaith legislation would enhance protections for houses of worship across all faith traditions. Participants discussed the urgent need for increased federal support through the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, training resources for faith communities to assess and improve their security postures, and policy mechanisms that ensure all religious institutions have access to critical safety resources. The strong turnout demonstrated the deep commitment of Christian and
Hispanic leaders to stand in solidarity for the protection of all sacred spaces in an era of rising threats against communities of faith.
🙏 You Can Take Action: Urge Congress to protect synagogues and all houses of worship by passing the Pray Safe Act. The law would help protect congregants from hate-motivated attacks.
