Our Work

We Build Safe Jewish Communities

We help Jewish communities access the resources they need to protect themselves. We combat hatred in all its forms by advocating for Jewish interests at the local, state, and national levels.

יְהוָה יִשְׁמָרְךָ מִכָּל־רָע יִשְׁמֹר אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ׃ יְהוָה יִשְׁמָר־צֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֶךָ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָם׃

G-d will guard you from all harm. G-d will guard your life. G-d will guard you in your coming and your going, from now until forever.

Psalms 121:7-8

Our Focus

Community Safety & Security

Jews remain the religious group most targeted by hate crimes in North America. As a response to the rise in terrorist attacks on synagogues and other Jewish spaces, we launched LiveSecure to protect Jewish communities across North America from violent antisemitism.

Combating Antisemitism

The shocking surge in antisemitic incidents following the October 7th attacks underscores the urgent need for proactive measures to combat this hatred. With deep roots in communities across North America, we’re uniquely positioned to address this evolving threat. We firmly believe that the most effective way to combat antisemitism is through advocacy, education, and civic engagement.
