About This Action
Amidst a rise in antisemitism, Jewish schools, synagogues, and other institutions need to be protected. Take action to secure our communities by writing to your state officials.
In the weeks since the devastation in Israel began, we have experienced a rise in antisemitic incidents and threats right here in our communities. Numerous yeshivas and Jewish day schools have been forced to close on days following threats, parents have kept their children home, and Jewish institutions have had to pay out of pocket for increased security and private guards.
Our Senators are currently reviewing items of EXTREME importance to our Jewish communities. Please impress upon them the importance of two items by sending notes to decision-makers NOW.
1. Release Security Grant Funds: Dollars have already been authorized for the Department of Education to spend, but the release has been held up. Please help us urge Harrisburg to help us keep our students safe at a desperate time.
2. EITC and OSTC: Pennsylvania's scholarship tax credit programs help 60% of our day school and yeshiva student attend our schools. The programs are critically important and we must make sure they stay strong and grow to help more families that are eligible.
Urge elected officials to act on this funding TODAY.
