JEWISH FEDERATION OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS

SecureMass is our community-wide security initiative, created to ensure the safety and resiliency of Jewish life in Western Massachusetts. Backed in part by LiveSecure, the national security campaign launched by the Jewish Federations of North America, SecureMass provides the training, tools, and resources needed to protect our Jewish community centers, synagogues, schools, and summer camps.

This effort is more important than ever. From Pittsburgh and Poway to Monsey and Colleyville, violent antisemitism has tragically targeted Jewish institutions. In every case, survivors have credited security measures and training for saving lives. As one Tree of Life survivor reflected, “I would have been the 12th casualty that day if I hadn’t had the training.”

Through SecureMass, our Federation partners with the Secure Community Network (SCN)—the official safety and security organization of the Jewish community in North America. Together with SCN, the Department of Homeland Security, the National Counterterrorism Center, and the Anti-Defamation League, we are fighting antisemitism and building a culture of preparedness.
