B'makom Rabbi Jana's Blog

First, I wanted to let you know that my cousin who was living in the Ukraine is in the United States! You can go to the Wonderings page about the Ukraine (CLICK HERE) for the updates. I post the newest information on the top of the entries. 

The newest Wondering is about Safety concerns:

Hopefully you are seeing that B'nai Zion is offering many options to keep the congregation safe. This includes the people and the building. This is not a new endeavor. We have been increasing our safety and security measures for many years - protecting each other has always been a priority. 

Some of what we learn is helpful while at B'nai Zion - for example, more than once I have had to find a safe place in the building to wait out a tornado warning.  Some of what we learn about situational awareness and techniques can be helpful wherever you are. 

This week I am wondering: What are your biggest concerns about safety at B'nai Zion? Are there specific things you would like to learn? Do you know what to do to protect yourself and those around you? Do you know what B'nai Zion is doing to protect you? 

I hope you get to take advantage of the training sessions that we are offering and are looking at the resources that we share online. The upcoming sessions (including today's session about "Firearms and the Faithful") are posted on the B'nai Zion homepage and the individual event pages.
