A Texas rabbi recounted to lawmakers being held hostage in January 2022 along with other congregants for more than ten hours. He said he unknowingly welcomed the man he called a “terrorist” into the congregation. HIs story was part of a virtual hearing conducted by two House Homeland Security subcommittees. Lawmakers were examining the rise in antisemitism and considering funding for the FEMA Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), a program used by several synagogues to enhance security and protect communities. Others who testified included a Florida rabbi, a Jewish group leader, and a security expert. close
