According to the Anti-Defamation League, there has been a troubling rise in antisemitic incidents across the country.
"While this is a national issue, it is particularly acute right here in New York, New Jersey, where we have such vibrant and visible Jewish communities," said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and national director of the ADL.
The Security Alliance will share information, resources and training to help keep Jewish institutions -- including synagogues, schools and community centers -- safe.
