Protecting Our Community
ADL is committed to doing everything possible to ensure the safety and security of the Jewish community. We have created On Guard, a series of security updates, to provide you with valuable information to use at your synagogue and other Jewish institutions in your neighborhood.
Is Your Synagogue Safe?
Does your synagogue, community center or other Jewish institution have a security plan? If not, the welfare of your members could be at risk. Security
is more than installing hardware or hiring additional staff. You need to
develop a plan and be prepared.

Security involves everyone. Congregants and community members are vital
to ensuring the safety of their Jewish communal institutions. There are
six key things every congregant should know...
| Security Planning Tip Sheet | Security is a long-term process. No one plan works for everyone. However, depending on what is best for your institution, you may want to consider the following: - Ensure that entrances to your building are monitored;
no one should enter your building unscreened. - Minimize the number of open entrances to your facility (consistent with fire codes).
- Have all emergency phone numbers readily available.
