Dear Friends,

Yesterday, you received a message from Melissa about an active shooter training taking place at HCRJ on March 2. Today, I wanted to follow up and encourage you to attend.

I am very proud to share that HCRJ has been diligent in our efforts to maintain a safe and secure environment for all who enter the building. In addition to our constant attention to meeting the security demands of our various programs, our staff has undergone trainings with the ADL, the Federation and law enforcement. These trainings are now being offered to our membership through SCN (Secure Communities Network) in collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.

Each of the courses are designed to provide members of the Jewish community with proven defense and survival strategies to use in the face of a violent incident. In short, the classes are designed to help us (the Jews in the pews) protect ourselves.

Please consider taking one of the courses offered below. The more folks who know these strategies, the better prepared we will be to respond in a time of crisis. Thank you for helping HCRJ move from strength to strength.

Active Shooter Training at HCRJ
