JFGH is pleased that, in partnership with SCN, the official safety and security organization for the Jewish community in North America, we have launched a new, standardized online form for the public to report threats, incidents, and suspicious activity related to Jewish organizations, facilities, or community members. “Our new online reporting form is one of the many ways the Federation is working to protect the Jewish community,” said JFGH CEO Renée Wizig-Barrios. “Together with the Secure Community Network, we urge everyone to report anything suspicious or concerning so the appropriate action can be taken.”
