Community Security Service

We mourn the passing of Abraham Foxman, z”l. A Holocaust survivor who came to America and dedicated his life to fighting antisemitism, he was a towering voice and a powerful advocate for defending the Jewish people. May his memory be a blessing.

CSS is a grassroots movement built by the community, for the community. Our true strength lies in our 6,400+ volunteers who stand guard at hundreds of synagogues and events nationwide *every week*

Over 2,000 students from 41 colleges and 13 national campus organizations completed one of our training programs last year: 92% reported feeling physically more safe on campus.

CSS was proud to have our trained security volunteers help to protect @ADL’s #NeverIsNow in NYC, alongside #NYPD and the ADL security team.

With tears in our eyes and hearts breaking, we share the devastating news of the loss of our beloved brother, rabbi, partner, friend, and Executive Vice President Rabbi Moshe Hauer, zt”l.  Rabbi Hauer was a true talmid chacham, a master teacher and communicator, the voice of Torah to the Orthodox community and the voice of Orthodoxy to the world. He personified what it means to be a Torah Jew and took nothing more seriously than his role of sharing the joy of Jewish life with our community and beyond. Rabbi Hauer’s leadership was marked by unwavering dedication, deep compassion, and a vision rooted in faith in Hashem, integrity, and love for Klal Yisrael. Whether through his inspiring words, thoughtful counsel, powerful advocacy, or quiet acts of kindness, Rabbi Hauer uplifted those around him and made an impact on every person he encountered. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family. May they be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim. At this difficult time, we ask that you join us in remembering Rabbi Hauer, zt”l, by continuing to embody the values he upheld and by committing ourselves to continuing the legacy of Torah, chesed, and unity that he championed so passionately. Funeral and shiva details to follow. Baruch Dayan HaEmet.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our partners @CST_UK and their brave volunteers. Our prayers are with their member and all congregants injured in yesterday’s brutal attack, wishing them strength and a full recovery. We will not waver in our resolve to protect our communities.

Heartbroken by the deadly terror attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester. We at @TheCSSorg all stand with the British Jewish community and our partner @CST_UK in mourning the victims of this horrific assault. npr.org/2025/10/02/nx-…
