What's Happening

Dear Friends,

Starting June 25th, new CSS Security Classes will be given. These new courses will be given at Lincoln Square Synagogue and will include both theory and physical training.  Experience is not required, and women and men are invited to attend.  The proven practical security methods and protocols you will learn will greatly increase both your security and the security of the community as a whole. 8 weeks of courses will start with the 2 Week Level 1 Series, followed by the 6 Week Level 2 Series. Experienced members can also use this as a refresher.

Bear in mind, our paid security detail is no substitute for the personal knowledge this training will provide. The more volunteers we have, the less rotations that will be required of us. And remember, all volunteers who successfully complete these courses and regularly rotate will be waived the OZ Annual Security Fee.

Community Security Service (CSS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit Jewish security organization run by dedicated, professional members of the Jewish community. CSS members are highly trained professionals who volunteer to help protect Jewish life and the Jewish way of life in the United States. CSS is apolitical and non-denominational in focus and works hand-in-hand with law enforcement and the organized Jewish community to provide a qualitatively better approach to community security.

The organization proactively protects Jewish synagogues and organizational events. CSS partners with these established organizations, trains each membership base in professional security techniques and oversees operations. Additionally, CSS promotes public awareness about security threats to the American Jewish community.
