We are aware of the actions of white supremacist groups across the country who are trying to organize antisemitic activities by calling for a “National Day of Hate” this Saturday, February 25th.
Scott Biondo, Community Security Director from the Jewish Federation, visited our building this week to ensure we have appropriate safety measures in place. We continue to be vigilant in regard to our security.
We will join Jewish groups and institutions around the country and continue to stand strong and call for a Shabbat of peace, not hate. We ask that you join with us to Show Up for Shabbat and stand up against this hate by joining us at Shabbat morning services tomorrow at 9:00 am!
Please join us this Shabbat!
