The threat environment
The threat environment facing diaspora Jewish institutions is structural and ongoing. The ideological networks, targeting logic, and organizational infrastructure that produced October 7 reach directly into the cities your members and their children live in. “Globalize the intifada” moved from chant to strategy. The practice closes the gap between the threat and the institutional intelligence framework most boards are operating from.
As an IDF vet and security advisor for my shul and religious school, your succinct briefings help me prepare my congregants and students for what they need to be aware of in their environment.
