Join CSS Today The Community Security Service is a national nonprofit that works with synagogues and Jewish institutions to train congregants to play a critical role in keeping our families and communities safe. CSS was founded in 2007 and has trained over 6,000 volunteers in 15 states. It's stated goal is to protect Jewish life and the Jewish way of life. Security volunteers play a crucial role in implementing and enforcing security plans, including access control, monitoring suspicious activity, ensuring all congregants follow safety protocols, and responding to security threats that may arise. We are responsible for our own protection. We must remain vigilant. This is why I joined CSS as a security volunteer, and it’s why I’m asking you today to join me. The threats against our community are persistent, and security volunteers are at the frontline of detecting, deterring, and interrupting potentially deadly attacks on Jews. The commitment is just an hour and a quarter one Shabbat morning every 6-8 weeks. It's not that hard but it is very important. CSS volunteers have access to: World-class security training A robust volunteer security team at Young Israel of Sharon A large network of trained security volunteers in Massachusetts Professional staff and an advisory council with the former head of the US Secret Service Regular intelligence briefings and continuing education opportunities Please join me– the time to stand up and protect our community is now. We are planning a training session for new members and another refresher for current team members soon. We need volunteers to do the online training to prepare for the practical training.
