The J stands firmly against hatred and violence in all its forms. Our deepest thoughts are with the families, congregation, and heroic first responders of The Temple Isreal, a synagogue in Michigan that was attacked today.
We, along with other Jewish-based organizations and places of worship, strive to create a safe space of solidarity, community and family. Senseless violence has no place in our home, and no place in the world. We are heartbroken.
The J along with its staff and fellow organizations will continue working to confront antisemitism. While there are no specific threats to our community currently, we will continue to work with our local law enforcement and city officials to keep our home safe.
As always, the safety and security of our members, guests and our community is our top priority.
