JEMS, a program of CJP, provides coordination and response in times of emergency. We offer robust security communications, alerts, and resources for professionals and lay leaders in the Jewish community.
CJP Communal Security Initiative
With threats and anti-Semitic attacks against Jewish communities and institutions on the rise, CJP’s role in providing professional security advice and support has never been more important. We offer training, assessments, and consultations free of charge to Jewish institutions in the cities and towns that CJP serves. Limited funding for physical security improvements may also be available to qualifying organizations.
