“Regulations concerning danger to life are more stringent than ritual prohibitions.”
-Babylonian Talmud, Hul. 10a
Rabbi Yannai of the Talmud once said, “One should
not stand in a place of danger in the expectation that a miracle will
be wrought on their behalf.” (B. Shab. 32a) We Jews live in a dangerous
world, as was evidence by the shooting this week at West End Synagogue
here in Nashville. Thank God no one was injured, but our need for
diligence with regard to security in the Jewish community remains
strong.
Thanks to our security and building assessment fee, we were able to act immediately to secure more police for Micah and the Children's Academy. We want to thank all those individuals who have paid their Security and Building Assessment Fee. Please know that your funds (not miracles) are what help keep all of us safe and secure.
We take the safety of our congregants very seriously, which is why these funds are earmarked directly for improving our campus. Finally, our community is blessed to have a wonderful relationship with the local police department; please say thank you to the officers when you see them on our campus.
