Security:

The safety and security of our congregation is a top priority. Beth Jacob has many security measures in place, including armed Law Enforcement representatives onsite during services and events, a gated perimeter, multiple surveillance cameras, and trained congregational security teams.  To ensure the safety of community members walking to and from the synagogue in the dark, reflective vests are offered to members and guests. Beth Jacob's Safety and Security Committee works continuously and proactively to enhance the protection of its members.
