Rabbi Mendy Goldberg of the Chabad House of Coram, on Long Island, N.Y., was one of scores of people interviewed by Forward reporters examining the scope and impact of a federal program providing grants to nonprofits at risk for terrorism. “There were a few incidents of anti-Semitic slurs and vandalism,” he said. “Then we found that if the government was willing to pay for it, we should improve security.” In 2007, with the help of the Lubavitch organization, Goldberg’s Chabad House received a grant to install closed circuit cameras, extra lighting, an alarm system and electronic monitoring.
