SUMMARY:Beth El Community Security Training for Congregants
DESCRIPTION:Beth El will hold congregation-wide security training on June 28 on community safety and threat response. Jshield will be at Beth El from 11:00 am to noon to instruct and model best practices on staying aware and safe at the synagogue and beyond. \nParticipants will learn how to recognize behaviors that may signal concern\, strengthen everyday situational awareness\, and respond calmly and effectively during moments of uncertainty. The session may include realistic walk-throughs of synagogue spaces\, guidance on communicating concerns quickly\, strategies for helping protect children and older congregants\, and practical ways to support one another before first responders arrive. We will also include age-appropriate guidance for parents and teens so that every part of our community can feel informed and prepared. The training is designed not to create fear\, but to build confidence\, shared responsibility\, and the kind of steady preparedness that helps our community remain both welcoming and resilient. \nPlease use the form below to register.
