Jewish communities that have the resources to utilize armed security generally only do so only on Shabbat and holidays due to financial constraints. This leaves weekday minyanim, classes and other synagogue and community gatherings unprotected.
If every Jewish life matters, then any gathering of Jews in their synagogues and community institutions deserves to be protected.
The Synagogue Security Council of North America is a 501c3 non-profit organization singularly focused on developing effective volunteer first responders within our own communities. Acknowledging the reality that police cannot be everywhere at all times, the only way to ensure our communities are protected against violent hate crimes, active threats and terrorist attacks is to take responsibility for and effectively manage our own security.
The SSCNA’s mission is to make our synagogues and Jewish institutions safer by providing lifesaving skills and technology to committed community members, helping to cultivate cost-free, capable and effective first responders within every minyan.
We do this by providing standardized technology systems, real-time intelligence, training and certification programs to community volunteers, giving them the necessary tools and skills to help prevent or respond to a targeted attack.
