Security Resources

We want all members of our community to enter synagogues, community centers, day schools, and other Jewish institutions feeling welcome and secure.

That’s why UJA’s Jewish Community Security Initiative (CSI) significantly enhances the physical security of 3,400+ Jewish nonprofits in New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland County, the greater Hudson Valley, and Connecticut.

Created in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRC-NY), CSI has become one of the most sophisticated antisemitism prevention efforts outside Israel.

The following resources are for Jewish organizations across New York.
