Achiezer hosted a major pre-Pesach security briefing on Thursday at its headquarters, bringing together senior law enforcement officials from both New York City and Nassau County amid rising antisemitic threats.

The event drew rabbonim, shul presidents, and security representatives from across the Five Towns, Bayswater, and Far Rockaway, underscoring growing concern within the community.

Rabbi Yaakov Bender of Yeshiva Darchei Torah opened the gathering with words of inspiration, praising law enforcement efforts. Representatives from Hatzalah, JCCRP, Rockaway Nassau Shomrim, and clergy liaisons also participated.

Newly appointed 4th Precinct Commanding Officer Inspector Schiller was among the law enforcement leadership present. During the event, 101st Precinct Commanding Officer George Ng was informed of his promotion to Deputy Inspector by NYPD leadership.

Achiezer President Rabbi Boruch Ber Bender emphasized the importance of action, stating that “actions speak louder than words,” while noting the unique coordination between NYC and neighboring Nassau County.

Officials from both the New York Police Department and Nassau County Police Department outlined expanded security resources that will be deployed throughout the community to help ensure a safe and calm Pesach.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and NCPD Commissioner Patrick Ryder both praised the gathering, pledging continued cooperation and support between agencies.
