"#Synagogues have cancelled services and diverted costs from other services to prioritise their safety in the wake of rising levels of #antiSemitism in #Australia, the Royal Commission has been told.
#Sydney silk #RichardLancaster addressed the inquiry on Monday and spoke about the financial challenges synagogues have faced when it came to making their organisations safe.
“Representatives of the #synagogue told of how they cancelled Friday night services because they couldn’t afford to pay a guard, and felt that they could not discharge their duty of care to congregants without one,” Mr #Lancaster said.
“The Commission has received submissions from very many synagogues around Australia. A constant theme is the organisational time, energy and money that has to be committed to security.”

"#Synagogues often give those inside them a sense of connection to the heavens, although they do not normally float through the sky. But in #Nabatele, a large, outdoor installation by #artist and #architect #AnnaKamyshan, a #shtetl-style #synagogue appears to hover over #Venice, perched on a massive rock suspended above water.
The work, an official collateral event of the 61st International #Art Exhibition of #LaBiennalediVenezia, will be on view from July 16 to September 16 at Arsenale Nord in the #Castello district of Venice.
It will be presented in collaboration with the #Montreal #Jewish #Museum and curated by #MariaVeits and #YevgeniyFiks.
At once playful, spiritual, and unsettling, Nabatele imagines a Jewish house of worship without ground beneath it."

"For many #Jews in the #diaspora, the world has moved on faster than our nervous systems have. The headlines have shifted. The public outrage has been redistributed. The language has changed. But for many of us, the rupture has not healed. It has simply taken on a new form.
What began as acute communal trauma has become something broader, more chronic, and harder to name: the grief of watching #antisemitism surge around us while much of the world insists we are misreading it.
It is the grief of seeing #Jewish students harassed as “#Zionists,” #synagogues and Jewish institutions targeted over events thousands of miles away, Jewish symbols treated as political provocations, and Jewish pain framed as something that must be qualified, contextualized, or apologized for before it can be acknowledged. It is the grief of realizing that #antiZionism has become, in many spaces, a socially acceptable container for antisemitism.
That distinction matters."

"Police in #Belgium said on Friday that they had three people in custody in connection with an #explosion that occurred on March 9 outside a #synagogue in #Liege.
One of the three suspects has been arraigned and the remaining two are awaiting arraignment, the 7sur7 news site reported, citing sources at the federal prosecution service. Police arrested the three suspects on Thursday along with four other individuals who have since been released and are no longer considered suspects, the report said.
The suspects in custody are believed to have acted for payment on behalf of handlers whom the prosecutors did not name.
The #Islamist #HarakatAshabalYaminalIslamiya group has claimed responsibility for setting off explosions at the #SynagoguedeLiège, as well as outside a #Jewish #school in #Amsterdam and #synagogues in #Rotterdam[...]"

Outsourcing stochastic terrorism is bit of a paradigm shift we've been seeing more and more of.
"Young people are being hired to carry out #shootings at targets around #Toronto, including #Jewish #schools and #synagogues, and the #US #consulate, Toronto’s police chief, Myron Demkiw, told reporters on Tuesday.
Demkiw called the conference to provide an update on arrests made in multiple #firearm discharge investigations, including the shooting at the #USConsulate that took place on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and the killing of a veteran Toronto police officer last week during a raid linked to the shootings."

"Years ago, at a conference on combating #antisemitism, the discussion turned to how best to train the police officers assigned to guard #Jewish institutions. When my turn came, I offered something less ambitious: make sure they have coffee, a sandwich, and a smile.
The room laughed. I was not joking.
#Shammai taught that one should receive every person with a pleasant face (bsever panim yafot, Avot 1:15). He was not describing manners. He understood that the way we meet another human being decides what becomes possible between us.
My own thinking was shaped by the experience of the #Jewishcommunity in #Turkey. In November 2003, #terrorists #bombed two of #Istanbul’s #synagogues, #NeveShalom in #Galata and #BethIsrael in #Şişli.
Among the dead were members of our community gathered for #Shabbat prayers and people who happened to be passing, including #YoelKohenUlcer, and also #Turkish police officers and guards[...]

Money quote right here: "[S]ome neighbors even submitted written letters opposing the permit, including one that read, “I am not Jewish, and I do not want our neighborhood labeled as Jewish.” 🖕
"#UNIVERSITYHEIGHTS, #Ohio — When #DanielGrand invited a dozen friends to his home for a #Jewish #prayer meeting five years ago, he set off a lengthy legal battle that now sits on the doorstep of the nation’s highest court.
The city of University Heights informed him that hosting the prayer meeting would require the same kind of permit #churches and #synagogues use. Over the following months, he said the city withheld his tax benefits, had police surveil his home and held a public hearing that Grand’s team has described as hostile toward the Jewish faith."

"Most #Jewish #Americans who travel on heritage trips tend to focus on visiting #Israel or Eastern #Europe. But what if you didn’t have to cross an ocean to explore the richness of different Jewish #diasporic traditions?
#NewYorkCity is home to the largest Jewish population in the #UnitedStates, a living mosaic of languages, customs, histories, and religious practices shaped by communities from around the world. Wanting to immerse myself in just one corner of that cultural treasure trove, I set out to visit five #synagogues over the course of three days, each offering a window into different versions of Jewish life.
From distinct #liturgical traditions to unique architectural styles and communal histories, each #synagogue felt like stepping into another time and place. If you’re looking to transport yourself through geography, history, and rituals, think about visiting these five synagogues."

#NewYorkCity is home to the largest Jewish population in the #UnitedStates, a living mosaic of languages, customs, histories, and religious practices shaped by communities from around the world. Wanting to immerse myself in just one corner of that cultural treasure trove, I set out to visit five #synagogues over the course of three days, each offering a window into different versions of Jewish life.
From distinct #liturgical traditions to unique architectural styles and communal histories, each #synagogue felt like stepping into another time and place. If you’re looking to transport yourself through geography, history, and rituals, think about visiting these five synagogues."

"Most #Jewish #Americans who travel on heritage trips tend to focus on visiting #Israel or Eastern #Europe. But what if you didn’t have to cross an ocean to explore the richness of different Jewish #diasporic traditions?

"Since #October7 and the war in #Gaza, #antisemitism has become more visible, aggressive and socially acceptable than at any point in my lifetime. #Synagogues require guards, #Jewish schools operate behind barriers, cemeteries are desecrated with #swastikas and slogans. #Protesters chant inflammatory threats while police officers advise #Jews not to be “visibly Jewish” or “provocative.” My late father, who helped defend #CableStreet against #fascists, would struggle to comprehend such passivity.
Meanwhile, ancient #conspiracy theories have been casually rehabilitated."
