Singer Foundation gives $1 million for security of NYC Jewish institutions

JTA

The Paul E. Singer Foundation said it will give at least $1 million to help secure Jewish institutions around New York in response to the shooting attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue that left 11 worshippers dead.

The foundation announced Nov. 5 the money will go toward safety reviews and enhanced precautions at synagogues, day schools and community centers, the New York Post reported Nov. 6.

“The tragedy in Pittsburgh was a painful reminder of the need to revisit our community’s security needs,”

Paul Singer, a billionaire hedge fund manager, told the newspaper. He called on others to “join the effort.”

The money will be distributed through the UJA Federation of New York.

The funds also will go toward official security assessments that the institutions need to apply for government funding for security.

The Singer Foundation says its mission “is to support and create innovative and effective organizations and initiatives that strengthen American democracy, the future of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and Jewish continuity.”

My caregiver is so compassionate. She was so much help. She went above and beyond. Right at Home is a wonderful company and their employees are professionnal, hardworking and always looking to help where we need them. We would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

We had a good fit with the caregiver. She was a perfect fit for us. Shelly understands what we need and picked up on where everything is in the kitchen quickly. Communication between us is excellent. She is a real winner. I feel she is someone to look forward seeing again.

They were very caring and helpful. Prompt to reply and thorough in their approach. The caregivers were exceptional. Can't recommend highly enough.
