The Jewish Federation addresses anti-Semitism, safety in metro Detroit

The Jewish Federation is looking into new safety plans after an attempted antisemitic attack at Temple Beth Al in Bloomfield Hills. According to the FBI, American Jews make up about 2% of the U.S. Population but are targets of nearly 60% of religious bias crimes. This week, religious leaders were joined by law enforcement to provide updates on the investigation. Temple Beth Al was packed with members of the Jewish community who say they are tired of the antisemitic attacks. "We are all very much concerned not just for us, but for our children too and it's important they learn how to take care of themselves," community member Hilary Mellin said. "There's definitely much more antisemitism than I have ever seen in my lifetime," Debra Silver adds.
