Community security continues to be a high priority. It is an area in which we have long taken a proactive approach and in which we have invested significantly over many years. Our approach revolves around empowering our community through training, safeguarding our institutions, building solid relationships with law enforcement and securing necessary resources. At the heart of our efforts is the active involvement of volunteers, who play a crucial role in enhancing our collective safety and resilience.
Bitachon, our community security volunteering initiative, plays an important role in safeguarding community events. Volunteers act as "eyes and ears" for the community, supporting private security and law enforcement to ensure the safety of attendees. By empowering community members to take an active role, Bitachon helps cultivate a culture of mutual responsibility and collective care. This volunteer-driven program directly reflects the Jewish Federation's strategic goals of building a more connected and resilient community, enhancing community security, and fostering collective strength.
