SECURITY - CSS
We are recruiting volunteers to be part of our CSS
security team. We encourage men and women to
volunteer. This is open to anyone over 18 and there is
no age limit. CSS will conduct a five hour training
session on a Sunday evening in the near future. The
expectation is for a volunteer to stand guard at a post
for a 3 hour shift, only once per month, or less. Of
course, this depends on the availability of volunteers.
We need as many volunteers as possible. Please send
me your name at [email protected] so I can
include you on my list of volunteers as we plan the
training session. Even if you are uncertain about the
commitment, attend the training session anyway.
Security is everybody’s responsibility and the training
will be helpful to us all. Thank you all for your
partnership in this very important mission of
protecting our community! With Best Regards,
Alan Wolkoff

PLEASE HELP US ADVOCATE FOR IMPORTANT FUNDING FOR
NEW JERSEY’S DAY SCHOOLS AND YESHIVAS.
Two weeks ago, TEACH NJS, a partnership between the
Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, 20 Jewish day schools, and
the Jewish Federations of both Northern New Jersey and the
Heart of New Jersey, held its Launch Event.
Three hundred concerned community leaders and members
attended this event, and each walked away knowing that
something can be done to reduce the cost of non-public
education. Increased state funding for our children’s
education and services is possible, and necessary to mitigate
the day school tuition crisis.
We can start by spending the next two weeks urging our state
legislators to restore the budget cuts to non-public education
and co-sponsor the Secure Schools for All Children Act
(A4288 and S2889) – critical legislation that will provide
funding for security in non-public schools.
To effectively advocate for this legislation, we need EVERY
member of our community to take two minutes to send an
automated email to your elected officials.
These two minutes could help bring in millions of dollars of
much needed services and equipment to our schools.
Please don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference. We
do not need hundreds of emails. We need thousands of
emails. Only as a confident, determined group can we make
this happen.
Please forward this email to your friends, your fellow school
parents and your shul members. The success that we can
achieve by working TOGETHER over the next two weeks is
crucial for both our schools and our children. Thank you,
Josh Pruzansky, New Jersey Regional Director
Orthodox Union Advocacy Center _____________________________________________________________________________________________
