Advisory

Diaspora Security Practice

The practice serves federation executives, synagogue security committees, JCC leadership, day school administrators, Hillel directors, museum boards, and other Jewish institutional leadership in North America and Western Europe responsible for protecting people, programs, and infrastructure. It delivers contracted threat assessment and on-call advisory.

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. Most boards inherited that reality without a corresponding update to the intelligence framework they were operating from. The practice closes that gap quarter to quarter — and answers the phone when something happens between quarters.

Mitzpe’s read on where that environment is concentrated runs on the Community Risk Index and its Geographic Heatmap. The methodology is published in full. The public index is not live yet — the scored version reaches contracted institutions first.

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.
