The Five Towns Community will host the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force panel discussion by representatives of the FBl, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of NY, Nassau County Police Department, NCPD Homeland Security, and the NYS Police for a special briefing to the Jewish community six months after the horrific events that occurred on October 7th.
The panel members will discuss the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI global response to October 7 with a focus on current threat updates, releasable intelligence, and social media. Information will be provided about the Civil Rights Program on Long Island including responses to hate crimes and the destruction of religious property. The Nassau County Police Department representatives will explain outreach efforts to the Jewish community and best safety practices. The NYS Police will describe their resources to combat Anti-Semitism.
SUNDAY, APRIL 7, 2024
10:30 AM TO 11:45 AM
AT YOUNG ISRAEL OF WOODMERE
859 Peninsula Blvd. Woodmere, NY 11598
We encourage everyone in the community to attend to gain insightful information and to support the efforts of law enforcement professionals in conjunction with the volunteer security teams that protect the Jewish community’s way of life.
This is a community outreach event. This isn’t some classified briefing or something as much as the officious unlicensed YIW “security” people think it is.
You seem angry
Where in the flyer does it say anything about a synagogue security team? This is a panel discussion as you see above? You seem to have an issue with the community’s volunteer security team?
Like many, our community relies on volunteers in many different aspects. Hatzolah, Fire Department, Chaverim, Shomrim, synagogue security teams. CHANA do you volunteer for any of them? Give back to your community? Do you take time from your personal and family life to help others? Do you put YOUR life on the line to help others? …….signed: Proud 30+ year volunteer in our community.

Why so bitter? Nothing you said is on the flyer.
Smile once and a while.
Chana:
Probably best to discuss your grievances directly with the team or the synagogues administration. Public forum such as this likely not helpful for yourself or the amazing volunteers that our community so desperately needs and from which we all benefit. Hopefully, you find some inner peace, tact, and wisdom.
Why aren’t people discussing a possible counter protest to the anti-Israel protest outside of YI Woodmere tomorrow at 6 pm?
Re protest. Ignore and they will go away. Weather is going to be horrible. Let them get soaked!
Chana. Email me and we can discuss your concerns about the yiw team. Let me assure you that we are properly trained as well as fully state licensed. The team is not just a bunch of wannabe’s. [email protected]
I appreciate the work that the security people do at YIW but it’s pretty clear chilul shabbos some of the stuff and radio transmissions that go on. Also the flashlights they carry – no way that is pelican nefesh.
