Hostage Situation at Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, TX

After a horrifying hours-long standoff at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas over the weekend, ADL Washington, D.C. is heartened that the situation has been resolved and all of the hostages are safe. Our colleagues in Texas mobilized, working on the ground with impacted families, law enforcement and the Jewish community. ADL will continue to engage with the FBI, local authorities and communal organizations.


This situation is a painful reminder that our Jewish communal institutions continue to be a target of antisemitism. Unfortunately, our data has repeatedly shown us that antisemitism is on the rise and Jewish communities around the United States are rightly concerned for their security.


As terrifying as the event on Saturday was, there was power in communities of all faiths joining together to support the people of Colleyville and the Beth Israel community. It is in these relationships that we are able to fight to stop hate and discrimination of all kinds.


We are grateful for the work of federal and local law enforcement, yet the trauma endures. ADL Washington, D.C. wanted to take the opportunity to share some resources that you may find helpful for yourself, your family or community as we begin the path of healing.

Commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day
In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly designated January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau camps, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. To commemorate this day each year, we urge everyone to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of others who were killed at the hands of the Nazis by pledging to fight hate for good. You can find resources below to learn more about this history and why we continue to teach about the Holocaust more than 75 years later.
