Law Enforcement Notified about High Holidays

  • August 25, 2015

Law enforcement agencies throughout ADL’s Pacific Southwest Region were notified about the dates of the upcoming Jewish High Holidays.

ADL’s message stated, “These holidays are among the most holy in the Jewish religion and their prayer services are among the most widely attended of all the Jewish holidays of the year.  You may wish to draw special attention during your roll calls to synagogues and Jewish institutions at these times, and possibly increase patrols or make black-and-whites available as extra security precautions.”

The message also mentioned the holiday of Sukkot, explaining that the traditional “huts” built outdoors during this festival could be a target for vandalism.
