Jewish Leaders Meet with Department of Homeland Security
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Leaders of local Jewish communities and institutions met Monday afternoon in Crown Heights with representatives of the Department of Homeland Security to discuss the department’s readiness and responsiveness to the Jewish communities needs.
“We need to make sure we get the maximum amount of money [for security] per person living in New York City in order to ensure the city’s safety” said Juliette Kayyem, the Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental, adding that it does not make sense that rural towns and cities get on average more money per person then New York.
Amongst the topics that were discussed were the security grants that local Crown Heights Moisdos got in order to install cameras, such as 770, the JCM, and schools.
Attending were representatives from the Museum of Jewish Heritage in Washington, which was the target of a shooting attack recently which claimed the life of a security guard, the Anti-Defamation League, United Jewish Communities, Shomrim of Brooklyn, Merkos Linyonei Chinuch, and leaders of the Satmar Communities.
The meeting was organized by the Jewish Community Relations Council.

we must do this simply for our safety, until moshiach comes! you can see the yiddin looking and trying it great to see such achdus when yiddin come together again! Only when we look beyond politics and try to do whats best for OUR community.
Hopefully moshiach will come soon so we won’t need this anymore.
close the phones!
Obviously, texting on a cell phone is more important than paying attention.

Who’s representing the CH here? The guy with no socks??? Where is just one of our new Vaad? Or anybody from the CHJCC? Harvey would have shown up for the pictures, at least. Yikes! Maybe no CH-er was invited.
Government ladies, respect please
B”H
You know, if these government worker ladies were going on a vacation to Morocco, they’d be told to dress covered up, out of respect to the sensitivities of the local culture, AND THEY’D GLADLY DO IT (cultural relativism, and all that)!
Couldn’t someone have told these same ladies to cover their chests when meeting with the frum officials, OUT OF RESPECT TO THE CULTURE????
Why isn’t OUR CULTURE paid the same cultural relativism respect that others’ cultures are????
