Brad Orsini believes now is the time to run through all the “what if” scenarios, and by that he means asking the hard questions, such as: “What if armed antisemitic mobs storm my city or attack my synagogue?”
As the national security director for the Secure Community Network, Orsini knows that after the Jan. 6 extremist riot at the Capitol, Jews and Jewish institutions are at risk.
While emphasizing that there are presently no known credible and specific threats, Orsini said in a webinar Friday that all Jewish communities need to prepare.
“This is a good chance to break out emergency operations plans, review them and convene security teams,” said Orsini, the former director of community security at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
