Shocked to pass a local synagogue - that’s been in the community for at least 60 years - and saw it was guarded by three cops as it was ending its holiday service. Never, ever saw that before.

Perhaps a small one with budget issues? Most Synagogues in our area have had security for decades, usually off duty police, frequently for Shabbos as well, not just major holidays.

And of course they have the good sense not to allow armed worshippers. Go figure.

I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve ever seen armed police outside this synagogue. It looks pretty wealthy.
